Student Experiences

How Ottawa Students Keep Their Budgets Balanced

«We had four people living in a Sandy Hill house and tracking utility bills on a fridge whiteboard was a disaster. Carovia eliminated the monthly argument over who paid for hydro and grocery splits.»

Liam Chen
3rd Year Student, uOttawa

«Managing a tight monthly allowance was stressful during my first semester. Seeing my fixed expenses mapped out showed me that my daily coffee runs were eating up my weekend food money.»

Maya Patel
2nd Year Student, Carleton University

«The first month was annoying because I had to log my past receipts manually. Once the baseline was set, managing shared rent and winter heating bills took ten minutes a month.»
