Problem
International students seeking housing in unfamiliar cities often face the risk of rental scams or misrepresentation of properties. Traveling to view properties in person can be expensive and time-consuming, especially for students coming from abroad.
Solution

This service allows students to virtually inspect properties, ask questions, and assess suitability without the need for costly travel. By providing real-time visual access and local insights, Uni View reduces the risk of fraud and helps students make informed housing decisions from a distance. The platform streamlines the viewing process, saving time and resources for both students and property owners.
