Meet your cohort before departure
The app to meet students abroad, before you even arrive
Erasly is an app to meet students abroad before you arrive. Add your destination city and dates, and it shows other exchange students going to the same place, so you can talk, plan, and even find a flatmate ahead of time.
Before you land
Meet international students online, before you land
Erasly is a platform to meet international students online, weeks before your semester begins. Add your destination and dates, and you can meet university students going to the same city, message them, swap plans, and arrive already knowing people. It's the student connection app for the pre-arrival window, when a few good contacts make all the difference.
The difference
Not just another student app
Plenty of tools call themselves a student social app, a student networking app, or a campus community app. Erasly is built for one specific job: connecting exchange students before they arrive. That focus is what sets it apart.
Pre-arrival, not after
Most apps help once you're already on campus. Erasly works before departure, when finding friends and housing matters most.
Free, no ads
No subscription, no paywall, no advertising. Erasly is free for students from sign-up onward.
EU & GDPR-friendly
Your data stays in the EU and is never sold. You control what you share and with whom.
Find a flatmate before you go
Housing is the most stressful part of an exchange, and the easiest to fix early. Because everyone on Erasly sets their destination and dates, you can connect with students looking for a place in the same city and arrange a flatshare before you leave, instead of scrambling once you land.
