Roommate roulette
is over.
Crashmates only lets in real college students with real .edu emails. So you actually meet someone you'll vibe with — not a bot, not a scammer, not your worst nightmare.
Type your school's name or city — 3,900+ campuses.
Takes 5 minutes. We promise.
No transcript, no student ID photo, no “verify your dorm address”. Just your .edu email and you're in.
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.
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.
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.
We cover the whole mess.
Finding a roommate is one slice of college housing chaos. We do the rest too.
Roommate matching

Need out of your lease? Find a verified student to take it over. No early-termination fee.
→Don't pay for an empty room.
Studying abroad, on a co-op, or graduating early? Sublet your room to a verified student for the semester — and stop eating rent on a place you're not even in. Need somewhere for one term? Take a verified student's room, no year-long lease. Two sides, one match.

Built to fix what Roomster broke.
Most roommate apps charge you a subscription to message bots and scammers. We took a different path.
.edu emails only
Every account is cross-checked against IPEDS — the federal college database. No real student email, no entry. Sorry, bots.
Free, not subscriptions
Browse, match, and message every verified student — all of it free. No credits, no $30/mo subscription you forgot you signed up for.
Likes both ways
Cold spam doesn't work here. Both people have to like each other before the chat opens. Less noise. More signal.
Not on Google
Profiles are visible to verified students only. Your face isn't on Google. Your name isn't first-last-public.
Real reviews from real students.
Real students. Real schools.
A few of the verified students who've already found their people on Crashmates. Yours could be next.
Crashmates is free.
Browse, match, and message every verified student at your school — no credits, no subscription, no card. Roomster charges $30 a month to talk to bots. We charge nothing to talk to real people.
