University Living, a leading global student housing managed marketplace, and the National Indian Students and Alumni Union UK (NISAU), the premier UK organization for the welfare of Indian students, have announced a strategic partnership to support Indian students pursuing higher education in the United Kingdom.
At the NISAU India UK Education Conference 2024 in London, University Living and NISAU solidified their partnership, a monumental step in providing support with accommodation and vital information for Indian students studying in the UK. The companies will collaborate to provide safe and secure housing for Indian students during their education journey in the UK. Through this engagement, the organizations are aiming to benefit 1 million students by 2030, a scale that underscores the significance of this partnership. Notably, student housing has become a cause of concern in key destination markets due to high demand and spiralling living costs.
Expressing his excitement about the collaboration, Founder & CEO of University Living, stated:
Cultivating a global community starts with breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity. We are pleased to announce our partnership with NISAU to empower Indian students pursuing their dreams in the UK. Together, we stand committed to providing unparalleled support, resources, and tailored solutions to ensure a seamless transition for Indian students as they embark on their academic journey in the UK. This empowerment of students is at the heart of our mission and we are inspired by the potential it holds.
University Living and NISAU are unwavering in their commitment to shaping a brighter future for Indian students studying in the UK. Through this partnership, both will combine individual domain expertise to enhance and further support India and the wider international student community by providing timely and authentic guidance and support around accommodation, addressing students’ queries, and helping them build close-knit communities so students feel at home. They will also create awareness about various scholarships to help students make informed decisions.
Sanam Arora, Founder and Chair of NISAU, echoed this sentiment:
NISAU is excited to join forces with University Living to provide timely and authentic guidance and support around accommodation to Indian students. Finding safe and comfortable housing is one of the most essential parts of a student’s journey, and NISAU continues to act as the primary point of contact for Indian students in the UK who need information on how to find safe and affordable housing. Through our partnership with UL, we can help them better gain access to this critical information and make informed choices.
