RollaLink

Are you an international student preparing to come to Rolla, Missouri? If you're looking for rental property and want to see it before signing a lease, we can help! Internationals moving to Rolla for school sometimes find that the rental they looked at online isn't exactly what they have moved into.
​
Digitally signing a lease without seeing the property is still a binding contract per the E-Sign Act of 2000. RollaLink is a service that will provide current walk-through videos and photos of the actual properties so you know what to expect ahead of your arrival.
About Me
​Hi, I'm Mallory. I've lived in the Ozarks region of Missouri most of my life. I've worked at Missouri S&T in the Residential Life department since 2015. My job is to uphold S&T's housing policy and verify students exempting from the campus housing requirement meet the stipulations. ​ I've met international students not required to live on campus who struggle to find a rental. These students would sign leases for rentals based on the photos and videos seen on a property manager's website, but these images were not up-to-date. ​​ My husband is an Indian immigrant. He experienced similar issues when moving to the US. I want international and out-of-state students to be confident in making a big move. I want people to come to America and feel welcomed, comfortable, and safe. There's already enough to worry about when making such a huge life change! ​ I love doing pottery and ink art, and I sell my work through my Etsy shop and showcase my work on my TikTok accounts. ​ I have fluent proficiency in English, novice proficiency in Japanese and Korean, and my Hindi speaking and reading skill is at a B1 threshold. I can read and write in English, non-Kanji (Hiragana/Katakana) Japanese, Korean, and Hindi.
