How it works

Takes 5 minutes. We promise.

No transcript, no student ID photo, no “verify your dorm address”. Just your .edu email and you're in.

1

Drop your .edu email

We send a code, you click it, you're verified. We cross-check against IPEDS (the federal college database) so we know you're really at your school. 30 seconds.

2

Build a profile that's actually you

Eight quick lifestyle questions, a photo or two, your budget and move-in date. Done. We use it to score how compatible you'd be with every other student at your school.

3

Match. Chat. Move in.

Like the people you vibe with. When it's mutual, the chat opens. No cold spam, no paying $30/month to send one message. Just real people at your school.

More than roommates

We cover the whole mess.

Finding a roommate is one slice of college housing chaos. We do the rest too.

Why we're not creepy

Built to fix what Roomster broke.

Most roommate apps charge you a subscription to message bots and scammers. We took a different path.

★ Verified

.edu emails only

Every account is cross-checked against IPEDS — the federal college database. No real student email, no entry. Sorry, bots.

No traps

Credits, not subscriptions

Buy ten messages for $9.99 when you need them. No auto-renewal, no $30/mo charge you forgot you signed up for.

Mutual

Likes both ways

Cold spam doesn't work here. Both people have to like each other before the chat opens. Less noise. More signal.

Private

Not on Google

Profiles are visible to verified students only. Your face isn't on Google. Your name isn't first-last-public.

What students say

Real reviews from real students.

“Found my roommate in like 3 days. She’s literally my best friend now and we have the same Netflix taste which is unreal.”
Maya R.
UCLA '27
“Came from Roomster which was 90% bots and $30/month. Crashmates is free to browse and everyone’s actually a student. Night and day.”
Jordan K.
UC Berkeley '26
“I needed someone to take over my lease in literally 2 weeks. Posted Wednesday, signed Friday. Saved me $4k in early termination fees.”

Stuff students ask

Common questions.

How does .edu verification work?
When you sign up, we send a verification code to your school email. We then match the domain against IPEDS, the federal database of accredited US colleges. If it matches, you’re verified instantly and assigned to your school’s community. @ucla.edu, @g.ucla.edu, @students.school.edu — they all work.
Is Crashmates free?
Yes. Creating an account, building your profile, browsing students, getting matched, and receiving messages are all free. You only pay credits when you want to send the first message in a new conversation. 10 credits = $9.99, or unlimited for $19.99/month. Unlike Roomster, our subscription cancels in two clicks.
How is this different from Bunky or Roomster?
Bunky doesn’t verify students or carry housing listings. Roomster is open to anyone, charges a subscription to message, and is full of fake profiles. Crashmates is the only platform that combines verified-student-only access with both roommate matching AND real housing listings (rooms, subleases, lease takeovers) at 2,500+ campuses.
Can I post a sublease or lease takeover?
Yep. Posting is free. We have dedicated flows for summer subleases, semester swaps, study-abroad takeovers, and emergency lease bailouts. Other verified students can browse and message you at no cost too.
How do you keep out scammers?
Verification is the first wall — no real .edu email, no account. Plus we do photo verification (your profile photo has to match a real-time selfie), monitor accounts for suspicious behavior, and let you report any profile or message instantly. Reports reviewed within 24 hours. Confirmed scams = permanent ban.
Which colleges are supported?
All accredited US colleges in the federal IPEDS database — roughly 2,500 schools including every state university, the Ivy League, the UC and Cal State systems, all SEC, Big 10, and Big 12 schools, plus community colleges and private schools across all 50 states. If your school issues a .edu email, you can verify.

Stop gambling on random roommates.
