How should students organize the study abroad planning process?

Study abroad planning still feels more chaotic than it should.

Students usually manage the process across university websites, spreadsheets, screenshots, browser tabs, WhatsApp groups, notes, and random deadline reminders.

With Uniherz, we are trying to bring the core workflow into one student-friendly workspace:

• discover programs

• save a shortlist

• add notes

• track important dates

• access useful resources

• share feedback that shapes the product

We are starting focused, but we want to build this with students and people who understand the study abroad journey.

A few questions for the community

1. What is the most painful part of study abroad planning?
Finding programs, comparing options, tracking deadlines, documents, scholarships, or something else?

2. How do students currently organize this process?
Spreadsheets, Notion, Google Calendar, WhatsApp groups, consultants, or just browser tabs?

3. What would make a study abroad workspace genuinely useful instead of “just another tool”?

Would love honest feedback from students, founders, advisors, and anyone who has gone through international applications before.
