Exchange Buddy

Save on agency fees. Help each other move abroad.

An Exchange Buddy is someone moving in the opposite direction of you. They already live where you're going — you already live where they're going. Skip agency fees, share housing tips, and land softly on the other side.

Save on agency fees

Real students share leads and tips instead of you paying a broker a month's rent for the same info.

Flexible dates

No need to match exact dates. Buddies match within a ±6-month window — same year, same semester, roughly.

Chat right away

Once matched, message your buddy directly. Ask about the university, the district, the paperwork, the parties.

No room needed

You don't need to swap or list a room. Just tell us where you're going and where you live — that's enough to match.

Local advice

Which neighbourhoods to avoid, cheap groceries, which contract to sign — the stuff no landing page tells you.

Free forever

ErasmusSwap is 100% free. Exchange Buddy is a bonus on top of the room-swap features.
