Now live at Caldwell University

One trusted hub
for campus life.

Housing, marketplace, free stuff, events, and a verified student community — all in one place, just for your school.

Every member is .edu verified. Students only.

The problem we lived

Looking for housing or campus resources meant scrolling Facebook Marketplace, sending cold DMs to strangers, or hoping someone posted in an overflowing group chat. No way to verify anyone was a student. No moderation. No safety. Just chaos.

Scattered across apps
GroupMe, Facebook, Snapchat — no one place to find housing, deals, or campus resources.
No verification
No way to know if someone was actually a student. Scams and strangers everywhere.
Built for everyone else
Existing platforms weren't designed for students. Verified campus community was an afterthought.

How it works

Three steps to your verified campus hub

2. Your campus hub opens
Housing, marketplace, free stuff, events — all verified, all in one place, all your school.
3. Connect safely
Browse, post, and message through built-in chat. No strangers, no sharing your number until you're ready.

Everything campus life needs

Nestrel isn't just a housing board — it's a full campus life hub.

Housing
Find a room, post a sublet, scout roommates — within your verified campus community.
Marketplace
Buy and sell textbooks, furniture, and gear to fellow students you can actually trust.
Free Stuff
Moving out? Give away items to classmates instead of tossing them. Sustainable and student-first.
Org & Events
Student orgs can post events and announcements directly to the campus feed.
Safe Messaging
Built-in chat so you never need to share personal contact info until you're ready.
Verified Community
Every member is .edu verified. No landlords, no scammers, no strangers — students only.

Built by a student, for students

I'm Kal, the founder of Nestrel. I built this because I lived the problem — trying to find housing and campus resources as a Caldwell University student using a mess of group chats, Facebook posts, and blind trust.

Nestrel is built and run by Amahle Digital Creatives — an independent studio focused on tools that actually serve student communities. Nestrel is our first deployment, and we're just getting started.

Infrastructure & future monitoring

The metrics above come directly from Supabase data. The following require additional infrastructure and are planned for a later phase:

  • Uptime monitoring — requires an external service like UptimeRobot (free tier available)
  • Error tracking — requires Sentry or similar
  • Server-side latency — requires a Supabase Edge Function
  • Storage usage — requires a backend service key (not safe from the browser)
