As you know, finding off-campus housing can be difficult and time consuming for students, staff and faculty. Our company, Ecom Media group Inc. (EMG) developers of offcampushousing101.com and the myidealhome.com network, provide a complete online solution for off-campus housing listings, which is free to Universities and Colleges. We provide free technical support to our partners and end-users. There already are many large Universities and Colleges, who are extremely pleased with our service. This off-campus housing solution presents an opportunity to increase the quality of service you provide to your prospective and current students. 

The EMG difference

What sets EMG apart from other rental property solution companies, is the fact that, unlike other rental property websites, who are completely focused on branding themselves and their advertisers, our OCH solution has been designed first and foremost with the school and students in mind. The Off-Campus Housing solution (OCH) provided to schools is completely branded to the school and does not contain any 3rd party advertising. EMG does not charge schools for setup or use of the OCH solution and we do not charge students for searching or listing properties.
