College Student Apartments

What College Student Apartments does

College Student Apartments (CollegeStudentApartments.com) is an online two-sided marketplace operated by Uloop Inc. that connects college students searching for off-campus housing with landlords and property management companies. The platform aggregates apartments, houses, and sublets across all 50 U.S. states and thousands of colleges, with search filters for price, distance to campus, and amenities, and it supports a city-, state-, and college-specific browsing structure. The site is free for student renters; housing providers pay to list and advertise properties.

The underlying product is a web platform with a property listing database, direct integrations with property management software (listing imagery and lead capture are routed through Appfolio-style feeds), a Matching Quiz for personalized recommendations, email alert notifications for new inventory, and an iOS mobile application. Property managers access a self-serve dashboard to post listings with photos, videos, and floorplans, track leads via email and phone (with third-party call measurement integration), and view performance analytics. The site operates as part of a broader Uloop network that includes CollegeRentals.com, CribWiz.com, RateMyApartments.com, and Roomsurf.com, with listing syndication across the network.

The business model is advertising-driven: property managers and landlords pay listing/advertising fees to access the student renter audience, while pricing tiers are quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Named enterprise customers include Gables Residential, Bozzuto, Descron Properties, McCormack Baron Salazar, Lincoln Property Company, Campus Advantage, and Cardinal Group Companies. No revenue, funding, headcount, or ownership-stake figures have been disclosed.
