BunkUp matches East African university students with compatible housemates based on lifestyle, budget, and study habits. No more random WhatsApp group luck.
Hundreds of messages in housing groups. No way to filter, no way to verify, no way to know who you're actually moving in with.
You find someone who can split the rent. But do they study at 2am? Play loud music? Have 12 guests every weekend? You won't know until it's too late.
No verification, no profiles, no accountability. You're handing your keys to someone you found in a group chat.
Tell us who you are. We'll find who fits.
Your university, budget range, study habits, sleep schedule, noise tolerance, cleanliness standards. The stuff that actually matters.
Our algorithm pairs you with students who share your lifestyle. Not just "needs a room" but "will actually be a good roommate."
Chat with your matches, verify university enrollment, and find your place together. Simple, safe, sorted.
A short lifestyle quiz powers our matching engine. Study habits, sleep schedule, cooking preferences, social style, budget range. We match on the things that make or break a living situation.
Every student verifies their enrollment. Know that your potential roommate is who they say they are.
Split deposits and rent via MTN Mobile Money or M-Pesa. The payment methods East Africans actually use.
Don't just find one roommate. Build a full house group of 3-4 compatible students and find a place together.
Honest info about student neighborhoods near each university. Transit times, safety, rent ranges, nearby amenities.
