In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the innovative solutions offered by Semester Sublet, a company that is transforming the college housing market. With college housing costs soaring to unprecedented levels, Semester Sublet addresses a critical financial challenge faced by students who wish to study abroad. The platform connects students who are studying abroad with those seeking single-semester housing, thereby alleviating the financial burden of paying for unused apartments. This innovative approach has led to a remarkable first-year growth, with a 400% increase in listings at some universities and over 100 listings secured for Spring 2025. Nancy Schwartz, the founder of Semester Sublet, highlights the invisible barrier that housing costs create for educational opportunities and emphasizes the need for reliable solutions beyond traditional university housing offices.
Semester Sublet's rapid adoption, with over 60,000 organic shares on Facebook, underscores the urgent need for such a platform. It serves a wide range of needs within the college housing ecosystem, from international scholars and summer interns to students seeking emergency housing changes. The platform's intuitive interface and verified listings ensure safety and reliability for users. Beyond business success, Semester Sublet actively supports university communities through sponsorships of campus Dance Marathons, contributing to the Children's Miracle Network of Hospitals. As the company enters its second year, it plans to expand its sponsorship program and launch new social media initiatives to engage with its growing user base.

This is Gavin Newsom
I’m Gavin Newsom. And, it’s time to have a conversation. It’s time to have honest discussions with people that agree AND disagree with us. It's time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism, and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing one other. I will be doing just that on my new podcast – inviting people on who I deeply disagree with to talk about the most pressing issues of the day and inviting listeners from around the country to join the conversation. THIS is Gavin Newsom.
