Cambridge, MA-based Student Net Publishing’s Student.Com, a Web site with original daily college life content, signed an alliance with Rent.Net, an Internet housing rental guide.
Through the partnership, a co-branded area on Student.Com will be developed
where students can search for apartments, moving equipment, and storage
facilities both in the United States and internationally. Financial details
were not disclosed.
The co-branded area will be launched in conjunction with Student.Com’s “Get
Set For Summer” guide, an informational section about how to find a job, rent
an apartment, and keep in touch with friends for free. The guide includes
articles on “Moving Made Easy,” finding the perfect place to rent and the need
for renter’s insurance.
“With Rent.Net’s expansive database representing millions of rental units,
Student.Com members will be able to find off-campus living options and storage
space for the summer,” said Phil Marcus, president of San Francisco-based
Rent.Net. “Graduating students relocating to another city or state will also
be able to search for an apartment right at Student.Com.”
