Residential life software for boarding schools

Run your dorms from one place.

Resly covers room bidding, maintenance requests, chores, events and announcements for dorm staff and the students who live there. It is already in use in real boarding school dorms.

About Resly

Most dorms run on spreadsheets and group chats.

Room choices go through email. Repairs get reported in a hallway. Chore lists live on a whiteboard and announcements get buried under everything else in the chat.

Resly puts those jobs in one site that works on any phone or laptop, with nothing to install. Each school gets its own name, logo and contact details, and turns on only the parts it wants.

Resly was built for a working boarding school dorm and is now available to other boarding schools.

What it does

The jobs dorm staff do every week.

Announcements

Staff post once. Every resident sees it on the home page.

Events and schedule

Dorm events, trips and daily schedules in one calendar.

Maintenance requests

Students report a problem. Staff see who reported it and what is still open.

Room bidding

Students bid on rooms online, so there are no forms to collect or email threads to sort out.

Chores and recycling

Students sign up for duties and get reminders. Changes are recorded.

Marketplace and lost and found

Residents sell or give away items, and report things they have lost or found.

Tutoring

Students book peer tutoring sessions.

Bus times and dorm store

Shuttle tracking and store balances. Both are optional.
