Universities, professionals, NGOs & campus partners
EdBirds is a community-based student support network. Partner as a university, professional, NGO, Erasmus organisation, employer — or list rooms if housing is how you contribute.

Students
Settle with a desk
Support catalog, Support Desk, and housing as one settlement service — not a listings dump.
Belonging
Directory + clubs
Opt-in people, curated clubs, and Community Centres so arrivals are not left to WhatsApp groups.
Partners
One network
Universities, NGOs, professionals, and hosts plug into the same settlement and belonging rails.
Who we partner with
Pick the profile that matches you — settlement partners, campus teams, and operators of student beds.
Your challenge: repeating the same answers on WhatsApp, weak applicants, and deposit anxiety on both sides.
How we help: listings that carry rent, bills, and rules in one place. Rooms stay a Settlement feature — students still find Support, Directory, and Centres on the same network.
Your challenge: arrivals asking where to start — papers, people, a desk, and only then a room.
How we help: point cohorts to Student Support, Directory, and Community Centres. Housing stays optional. Co-branded referral language for pre-arrival emails and housing fairs.
Your challenge: students needing CAF, tax, legal, health, or work help without a trusted local path.
How we help: join as a Support partner. Students request help online or at the Support Desk; you stay the specialist, not a marketplace listing.
Your challenge: mobility students landing with no local network, and programmes that stop at enrolment.
How we help: belonging via Directory clubs, wellbeing groups, and a physical centre. Email partnerships to map your cohort onto the city welcome.
Why partners choose us
Partners plug into accommodation, services, communities, and opportunities — a room is one door, not the brochure.
Students arrive around term dates, visas, and budget caps. Your service — housing or otherwise — shows up in that context.
We treat scams as an existential problem. Stronger identity and listing discipline means fewer “is this legit?” panics forwarded to your office.
Replace fragmented chats with a record you can hand to colleagues—fewer dropped leads and less he-said/she-said at move-in.
Deposits and booking flows are explained in plain language so finance teams spend less time unwinding confusion.
How we onboard you
15–30 minutes: city, cohort, whether you help with papers, people, a centre, or rooms.
Accounts, verification, and the right surface: Support service, Directory club, centre, or listing templates.
Students can find you from Support, Directory, Centres, or housing search — whichever door they used.
Review reply times, application quality, and seasonal pushes—iterate like any revenue channel.
Start with a landlord account if rooms are how you contribute, or email partnerships with your organisation, city, and role — university, NGO, professional, or host.
