How it works

See it, then ask

Residence names, addresses and rents are shared with applicants by their counsellor, so you get one honest, current quote in writing instead of a list of old prices.

Payment structure

What Orbuni charges, and when

Applying is free. You pay in three clearly separate places, and Orbuni's fee is the only one that comes to us.

Apply — freeNo fee to apply and no payment before a university sends you an offer letter.
Our service fee — once, after your offerPick Standard, Plus or Premier. Same price whichever university you choose.
Tuition — direct to the universityYou pay the university itself, never Orbuni. Government fees (visa, residence permit) are also paid by you directly.
