About Grofyy
Welcome to Grofyy, a one-stop platform designed to simplify life for international students studying abroad. We know moving to a new country can be exciting and challenging, so we're here to help make your journey easier. Grofyy brings together solutions for transportation, housing, and community in one friendly, easy-to-use app. From finding a ride to campus with a fellow student to securing a flexible short-term housing option, we've got you covered – all in one place. And best of all, Grofyy was created by students who've been in your shoes, so we truly understand what you need.
Our Story & Mission
Grofyy started as an idea among a group of international students who faced the same struggles firsthand. Arriving in the U.S. for college, we dealt with expensive taxi rides, confusing bus routes, and the headache of finding housing without local credit or contacts. We realized that if we had these problems, countless other students did too. So, we set out to build a solution.
Our mission is simple: make life abroad easier, more affordable, and more connected for every student. That means providing immediate, reliable solutions for everyday needs – getting around town, finding a place to live, and building a social support network – all tailored for students far from home. Instead of juggling multiple apps, websites, and group chats to get things done, Grofyy puts everything under one roof. We believe no student should feel lost or overwhelmed in a new country, and with Grofyy, you won't have to.
What We Offer
Grofyy combines several key services into one convenient app to tackle the most common challenges international students face:
Rideshare with Fellow Students
Need a ride? Grofyy connects you with other students headed the same way. Whether you're going to campus, the grocery store, or an event, you can quickly find a carpool. It's easy than relying on expensive taxis or ride-hailing apps, and you get the comfort of traveling with peers who understand you. Just one tap and you're on your way – no more posting on random group chats and waiting for replies.
Flexible Housing Options
Looking for a place to stay that fits your budget and timeline? Grofyy makes it easy to find student-friendly housing without the usual hassle. Browse room-sharing opportunities and short-term subleases, or post your own spare room if you have one. You can search by university to instantly see who's renting near your campus. No long leases, no complicated credit checks – just flexible options like month-to-month rooms or sublets that adapt to your needs. Finding a home abroad has never been this convenient or stress-free.
Personalized Search Filters
Everyone's needs are different, so Grofyy lets you tailor your search. Filter your results by university, location, language, or even food preference to find the perfect match. Want a roommate who shares your language or dietary lifestyle? Or a ride with someone from your home country or who enjoys the same cuisine? Our personalized filters help you find housing and travel buddies that make you feel more at home. It's your experience – we help you make it truly yours.
Community of Trust and Support
Grofyy isn't just about services – it's about community. Every user on Grofyy is a student, building a culture of trust, help, and friendship. You're not dealing with strangers, but with peers who share similar journeys. This sense of community means you can travel or live with greater peace of mind. Whether you're splitting the cost of gas on a road trip or sharing a meal in a new apartment, Grofyy fosters a supportive environment where students help each other and everyone benefits. And because we know student budgets are tight, we prioritize affordable solutions – many of our features are free to use, and any premium services are kept student-budget friendly.
What's Next
We're always expanding Grofyy to serve you better. Here's a sneak peek at some upcoming features and improvements on the way:
Student Loans & Credit Cards
Building credit and getting financial support as an international student can be a challenge. We plan to partner with banks and institutions to simplify the process of obtaining student-friendly loans and credit cards. Grofyy will guide you through available options and application steps, so you can get the financial boost you need to thrive abroad, without the usual confusion.
Social & Campus Communities
College life isn't just about classes and errands – it's also about friendships and experiences. We're working on new social features to help you connect even more with your peers. Expect campus-specific chat groups, event listings (think study groups, cultural festivals, weekend trips), and forums to swap tips or advice. Grofyy will be more than an app for needs – it'll be a place to share your story and build community wherever you study.
