Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Fortis Institute-Birmingham.

Every fall and spring, Fortis Institute-Birmingham students leave for a semester — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — and need someone to take their room in Birmingham instead of paying for an empty one.

Why Crashmates

Why does Roomster fail Fortis Institute-Birmingham students?

Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every Fortis Institute-Birmingham student a subscription to message profiles — most of which are bots or scammers operating outside the US. Bunky doesn’t verify .edu emails at all and doesn’t carry housing listings. Facebook Fortis Institute-Birmingham groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the Fortis Institute-Birmingham community: only students with a verified @fortis.edu email can join, and joining, posting, browsing, and matching are all free — you only spend a credit to send the first message in a new conversation, with no subscriptions, no auto-renewals, and no $30/month surprises. Fortis Institute-Birmingham students looking for verified students near me, Birmingham roommates near me, or Fortis Institute-Birmingham housing near campus get the cleanest signal of any roommate app on the market.
