Consistently get AT LEAST 6-7 hours of sleep per night
Consistently get at least 6-7 hours of sleep each night.
Continue readingMany of us proudly announce when we are nobly sacrificing sleep in order to work or study longer to meet a deadline. Though that can be a good tactic in short bursts, most of the time you’re far better off studying fewer hours with a more awake brain than all day and all night with just a semi-functional one. That’s not an opinion. Studies have proven it.

In your brain, your frontal lobe is where decisions and memories are made– and its ability to function plummets even from one night of sub-par sleep. To learn more, you have to sleep more.

Rent in 4 steps.No paperwork marathon.
Most students go from "I think I'll book" to "I have a lease" in under 10 minutes. Here's what each step actually looks like.
Choose your apartment type
Filter by city, move-in date, and budget. Within each type, apartments vary by size, balcony or patio, and accessibility — and you can pick your floor. Everything you need to find your perfect student apartment.
Send your request
Fill in your details and send your request from wherever you are — everything happens online, no viewings, no appointments. You'll get an email with your login, then upload two documents in the Neon Wood app: a valid passport or ID and your enrolment certificate or acceptance letter. The name must match on both.
Sign your lease and pay
Sign in to the app to review and approve your rental contract, then transfer your deposit and pre-payment. Once we've confirmed your payment, you'll receive your counter-signed lease by email. Please don't travel or arrive for check-in before you have it — it's your confirmation that everything is complete.
Check in & move in
At check-in, our on-site team hands over your keys and walks you through the apartment. Together you'll complete a handover protocol that records the condition of the apartment — this protects your deposit, so take your time and note anything you spot. Your registration paperwork is ready on day one so you can register at your new address.
