Student room exchange

Student Room Exchange for Students

Swap your student room with another verified student — at home or abroad. RoomSwapping matches compatible students so you can exchange rooms for free, securely and with people you can trust.

What is a student room exchange?

A student room exchange lets two students trade rooms for an agreed period instead of paying for new accommodation. Exchanges can be simultaneous — you both swap for the same dates — or non-simultaneous, where each stay happens in its own window.

It's ideal for exchange semesters, internships and Erasmus stays: you keep your housing budget low, live like a local, and stay with someone who has just as much reason to look after your place as you do theirs.

Frequently asked questions

Is a student room exchange free?

Yes. Swapping rooms with another student costs nothing in rent — you simply exchange your spaces. RoomSwapping only charges for optional paid rentals, not for swaps.

What is the difference between a simultaneous and a non-simultaneous swap?

In a simultaneous swap you both occupy each other's rooms for the same dates. In a non-simultaneous swap the two stays happen at different times, which is useful when your calendars don't line up.

How do I know the other student is trustworthy?

Every member can complete identity and student verification, you message securely in-app, and you can read reviews before agreeing to anything.
