International Student Concierge

Our bespoke Concierge Service is designed to help students moving to NYC for the first time to get set up, settled in, and start thriving! We handle the essentials, like finding accommodation (we have a licensed realtor on staff), getting you a US bank account and cell phone, as well as the social side of relocating - at our networking events, you’ll meet students from Columbia University, The New School, CUNY, NYU, St. Francis and more! We’ll also invite you to experience American culture first-hand, via meals with local families, for when you’re craving home cooking!

Think of us as an aunty. We’re here through thick and thin: in the unfortunate case that you have a medical, housing or personal emergency - we’ll be on-call and on-hand to help. We’re a check-in point for worried parents, a go-to and ambassador for students, and a chat over coffee whenever you need it.
