Student housing, sorted before the semester starts.

Roomrr gives universities and colleges one system for hostel allotment, roommate matching, hostel fees and student communication, plus a safer route to off-campus housing for the students your hostels can't fit.

Starting in Hyderabad. Talking to institutions across India.

The problem

Every admission season, housing becomes a second admissions process.

Allotment lists live in spreadsheets, roommate requests come in over email, hostel fees are reconciled by hand, and students who miss a hostel place end up in WhatsApp groups looking for flats from strangers.

How it usually runs

  • Room allotment done in spreadsheets, rebuilt every semester
  • Roommates paired by roll number or alphabet, not by how students live
  • Room-change requests and complaints arriving all through the first month
  • Hostel fees tracked separately from who is actually in which bed
  • Notices pinned on a board or lost in a group chat
  • No idea where off-campus students are living, or with whom

With Roomrr

  • Blocks, rooms and beds in one live allotment view
  • Roommates suggested from a compatibility questionnaire
  • Fewer swaps, because pairs are chosen on habits upfront
  • Bookings and hostel payments tied to the same resident record
  • Announcements and messages that reach residents on their phones
  • Off-campus students directed to flats, PGs and flatmates near campus
What's included

Built for the people who run student housing.

Wardens, hostel offices, accounts and student affairs work from one set of records. Each person sees only the parts they are responsible for.

Talk to our team

Hostel room and bed allotment

Allocation

Set up halls, blocks, floors, rooms and beds once. Allot a whole intake, move students between rooms and see what is free at any moment, without rebuilding a spreadsheet each semester.

Roommate compatibility matching

Matching

Students answer a short questionnaire about sleep, study habits, cleanliness, guests and noise. Roomrr suggests pairs and groups who are likely to get along, and your team makes the final call.

Bookings and hostel fee payments

Payments

Students confirm their place and pay online. Accounts staff can see who has paid, who is due and who is overdue, against the same record as their room.

Announcements and messages

Communication

Send move-in schedules, maintenance notices and rule changes to one block or the whole campus, and reply to individual residents from the same dashboard.

Staff roles and permissions

Access

Give each warden, officer and administrator access to exactly the modules and hostels they handle. Nobody sees resident data they don't need.

Your campus, your words

Setup

Call them halls, residences or wings, and call residents students, scholars or members. The dashboard uses your institution's terms, so staff don't need retraining on vocabulary.

Off-campus accommodation

Beyond hostels

Students without a hostel place can look for flats and PGs near campus on Roomrr, check how well potential flatmates fit, and avoid deals made through unknown group chats.

Getting started

From first call to first allotment.

We work around your academic calendar. The best time to start is a couple of months before an intake, but we can set up mid-year too.

  1. Send an enquiry

    Tell us about your institution, how many students or beds you manage and where, using the partnership form.

  2. Discovery call

    We go through how housing runs today: hostels, allotment rules, fees, who does what. Then we agree on what Roomrr should take on.

  3. Set up your campus

    Your halls, rooms and beds, staff accounts and permissions are configured, and you receive a campus code for students to join with.

  4. Students join, you allot

    Students sign up with your code, complete their preferences, and your team allots rooms with matching suggestions alongside.

What does Roomrr do for universities and colleges?

Roomrr gives your housing team one place to run student accommodation: hostel room and bed allotment, roommate matching, bookings and hostel fee payments, announcements and messages to residents, and a route for students who need housing off campus. Your staff get a dashboard, and students use Roomrr on their phones.

Can we manage on-campus hostels and off-campus housing together?

Yes. Your own halls and hostels are set up with their blocks, rooms and beds. Students who do not get a hostel place, or prefer to live outside, can look for flats and PGs near campus on Roomrr and find compatible flatmates, so your office is not left sharing spreadsheets of local landlords.

How do students join our campus on Roomrr?

Each partner institution gets its own campus code and join link. Students sign up through it, are linked to your institution, and only your staff can see your residents and allotments.

How does roommate matching work for students?

Students answer a short compatibility questionnaire covering sleep schedule, study habits, cleanliness, guests and noise. Roomrr uses the answers to suggest roommates who are likely to get along, and your team can use those suggestions when allotting shared rooms. Individual answers are kept private. See how matching works and what happens to quiz answers.

Can we use our own names for halls, residents and modules?

Yes. If your institution calls them halls of residence, blocks or wings, and calls residents scholars or members, Roomrr can show those words to your staff so the dashboard matches the way your campus already talks.

Who on our team can see and change what?

Access is set per staff member and per module. A warden can be allowed to manage allotments for one hostel, an accounts officer can see payments, and a student affairs officer can send announcements, without any of them seeing more than they need.

Do you work with institutions outside Hyderabad?

Roomrr is starting in Hyderabad and talks to universities, colleges and student hostels across India. Send a partnership enquiry with your location and we will tell you what we can offer there.
