YUGO Who we are ..
Yugo is the trusted name for student housing, globally. Every day we connect young people to opportunities and students to amazing spaces. Here at Yugo we like to do things differently. It's about people, planet, and passion. We are looking for #Futureshapers who want to positively influence and shape the lives of others. We want the people who relish not knowing how things are going to turn out but are up for the ride anyway - they make the most of the opportunities they’re given and create their own opportunities even if none are given – they shape the future for themselves and for others. We’re a brand that lives and breathes our purpose. We’re on a mission, a mission to better the planet, to empower our students on their educational journey, support their holistic needs and provide them a safe space to do this.
Under our LiveYour Best Life Programme and our three pillars – YugoEco, YuGrow and YuPro, we co-create with you… our students and we’ll support you on several levels. Think internships, certifications, bettering the planet, beach clean ups, student councils and so much more. Yugo was created through merging The Student Housing Company, Nexo Resiencias and Uninest with UComm in the USA. Same amazing team on the ground, different name above the door.
See how we can offer a truly differentiated living experience.
