HOW I THINK ABOUT STUDENT HOUSING
"Choosing student housing goes beyond photos and price, it’s about ensuring safety, comfort, transparency, and value by understanding the room, amenities, payment plans, and policies before booking. The right student housing experience can also shape a student’s overall university journey by fostering global connections, cross-cultural learning, new perspectives, and opportunities for personal and career growth."

Bhanu Mahajan is Senior Director of Operations at Amber, with more than eight years in student housing across multiple international markets. Bhanu’s work centres on building efficient, scalable operations and processes, with customer satisfaction at the core of each decision. That work gives a close view of how students choose where to live: what they value or dislike in a property, what drives shortlisting and booking decisions across different source countries, and where the experience students expect differs from what they receive. Bhanu also tracks student housing policies and market dynamics, and works on practical ways to close the gap between student expectations and the industry’s offer. At Amber, Bhanu reviews articles on what students should check before booking, including viewing checklists, room and amenity details, payment plans, and accommodation policies.
