Where should I live? What buildings have student specials? How early can I lock in a lease? How does the wait list work? These were the simple questions that Gabe and some of his classmates at Northwestern University School of Law asked, but none could seemingly answer back in 2004. In short, Gabe needed a company like StudentSpace. So, he created it–who better to understand the challenges and needs of graduate students looking for a place to live than an actual graduate student?
StudentSpace – the only housing expert exclusively designed for graduate school students.
