Names we've previously used or considered; "studintstay", "welcomehousing", & "bedabroad" Just to give you an idea - please keep in mind, we don't want to limit our company to a specific target audience (i.e, students), which is why it's important that we see names that are catch, easy to understand and will communicate what are our mission is in terms of providing a presence/brand that is internationally appropriate.
