Studentstay: the new way to live during your undergraduate, exchange, or graduate studies

Living away from home to study should be a phase of discovery — not a headache with guarantors, deposits, long contracts, and improvised shared houses. With this in mind, Shortstay launches Studentstay, an exclusive housing program for students that combines the structure of a corporate apartment with special conditions tailored for the university community.

In this article, we present how StudentStay works, who it is designed for, and why it represents a modern alternative to shared houses, boarding houses, and outdated flats.

The student housing problem in Brazil

University students, exchange students, and graduate students face a historically difficult scenario:

• Shared houses with poor infrastructure and no privacy
• Boarding houses with strict rules and outdated environments
• Traditional rentals requiring guarantors, deposits, and 30-month contracts
• Expensive flats with no flexibility for the academic calendar
• Insecurity in neighborhoods far from the university

The consequence is that many students end up paying high prices for poor housing or compromise their study quality due to exhausting daily commutes.

What is Studentstay

Studentstay is Shortstay’s program specifically designed for students. The proposal is simple: offer fully furnished apartments with corporate-quality standards, featuring conditions adapted to the student’s calendar and budget.

Main benefits of the program

1. Move-in ready apartments Fully furnished, equipped kitchen, washing machine, high-speed Wi-Fi, bedding, and utensils. Students just bring their luggage and can start studying the next day.

2. Stays starting at 30 days with academic flexibility Contracts aligned to semesters, academic years, or the duration of exchanges. No penalties, no renegotiations, unlimited extensions.

3. Locations near universities Buildings in strategic areas, close to university campuses, teaching hospitals, and academic hubs.

4. Coworking and study areas Buildings with shared rooms, common areas, and environments that enhance productivity and networking.

5. Reduced prices for students Special commercial terms for individual students and companies sponsoring internship, trainee, or exchange programs.

6. No guarantor, no deposit, no bureaucracy Simplified documentation — ideal for Brazilian and international students.

Who is Studentstay for

The program serves a wide range of profiles within the academic universe:

• Undergraduate students living away from their hometown
• Brazilian and international exchange students
• Graduate students, master’s, and doctoral candidates
• Medical residents and medical students in hospital internships
• Corporate interns and young professionals in trainee programs
• Students in extension programs and short courses

Why this is different

Instead of adapting an adult corporate structure to students, StudentStay rewrites the product to fit academic realities: flexible calendars, affordable prices, environments that support studying, and dignified infrastructure.

It’s the first time a student can live with the same quality as an expatriate executive — without paying the same price.

Conclusion

Living well during academic life can no longer be a luxury. With Studentstay, Shortstay offers a modern, safe, and financially viable solution for millions of students who today live in conditions disproportionate to the academic effort they put in.

If you are a student — or a company sponsoring interns and exchange students — get to know StudentStay and discover how comfortable living can accelerate, not hinder, your journey.
