For many years, the benefits of studying abroad have been described in words like these - “It will change your life!” and “You will come back a new person!.” But the exact long-term benefits were unknown. Now, the positive impact of study abroad experiences can be proven with statistics.

● 6,20,156 students went abroad to study in 2019.

● 97% of overseas university students found employment within 12 months of graduation, whereas only 49% of college graduates found employment in the same period. This means that they were twice as likely to find a job.

● 95% of the students said that studying abroad served as a catalyst for increased maturity.

● 96% reported increased self-confidence.

● 75% said that they acquired skill sets that influenced their future career paths.

This highlights the clear benefits of studying abroad. However, pursuing higher education abroad comes with critical challenges like identifying the right universities, skipping past student visa hurdles, acquiring an education loan, searching for scholarships, scouting student accommodation.. the list goes on.

The need of the hour is a single organization that caters to all these problems. Adventum Student Living (ASL) is looking to fill in this gaping hole in the study abroad industry. ASL offers students a more streamlined and dependable process in achieving their overseas education dreams.

Their first product is a global student accommodation marketplace called UniAcco. UniAcco is a cross border prop-tech company that aggregates private student accommodations on its online platform. The business model of UniAcco is such that, on the supply side, the company partners with private student housing providers and lists them on its website, while on the demand side, it connects students looking for fully-furnished accommodations.

UniAcco currently has an inventory of 5,00,000+ beds across 1,500 properties in 7 of the most popular higher education destinations. We are consistently adding more properties to our portfolio so that we can assist even more students with their accommodation needs.

UniAcco makes use of innovative product solutions like paperless cross border compliance, 360° property viewing; advanced algorithmic matrix-like scouting index to serve specific requirements of the students; optimised sales models to ensure students have a hassle-free accommodation search experience. UniAcco’s ‘Compare’ feature allows students to compare over 5,00,000+ beds based on 80+ parameters like "room types", "amenities", "locality", "distance from university", "benefits", "perks" and more to find their ideal accommodation.

Adventum Student Living also facilities education loans for higher students through its education loan vertical - UniCreds. Keeping up with the marketplace model, UniCreds is an online education loan marketplace where students can find lenders offering a variety of education loans in the most convenient way. UniCreds harnsesses the power of AI and data science to enable students to find the best education loans, based on their overall profiles.

There are many tools available on the UniCreds platform like the EMI Calculator, the Loan Eligibility Tool, the SOP Review Tool and the Repayment Tool. UniCreds has partnered with some of the leading lenders in the industry like HDFC Credila, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank,

Avanse Financial Services and many others. Expect to find the lowest interest rates on loans, flexible repayment options, professional education loan consultation, 24/7 service, zero collateral requirements, no margin money, etc on UniCreds.

Sayantan Biswas, Co-founder of ASL explains, “Students going abroad greatly depend on student loans to fund their overseas education. The current channels for identifying, selecting and securing education loans are quite fragmented, much to the disappointment of students. UniCreds aims to mitigate this problem by providing students with a single portal for all their education loan needs. After securing an education loan, students typically scout for their accommodation.

UniAcco provides students with end-to-end service in the accommodation domain, largely due to our ever growing portfolio of 5,00,000+ beds across  1,500 properties in top student countries. The primary aim of ASL is to create a one-stopshop for all the needs and requirements of international students”.

The latest offering from Adventum Student Living is UniScholarz. UniScholaz works as an online scholarship marketplace where students can apply for scholarships provided by leading corporates and educational institutions.

The idea behind UniScholarz is to provide students with all the international scholarships in one place. Students can find 300+ unique scholarship programmes applicable to popular higher education destinations like the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and 40+ other countries.

Advenum Student Living has become a one-stop-shop for students looking to study abroad thanks to UniAcco, UniCreds and now UniScholarz. Moreover, all of these companies provide free of cost services to students.
