What is a featured listing?
When posting, you may purchase a "featured" listing. A featured listing will appear above regular listings, increasing the number of views your post receives. You can also choose to be featured on Bamboo Housing's instagram, gaining even more views on your post. To see an example of a featured instagram listing, click here.
What does it mean to be University Verified?
If you provide a valid University email address, you will be University Verified. Your profile, and any listings you post, will receive the green student verified checkmark. You will also receive student discounts while posting featured listings.
With the abundance of scams, we highly recommend getting verified to increase trust with other users.
