Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Sonoran Desert Institute.

Every fall and spring, Sonoran Desert Institute students leave for a semester — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — and need someone to take their room in Tempe instead of paying for an empty one. At the same time, exchange students, transfers, and interns arrive at Sonoran Desert Institute needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease. Crashmates matches both sides, and everyone's a verified Sonoran Desert Institute student — not a stranger off Facebook.

Why Crashmates

Why do Sonoran Desert Institute students use Crashmates instead of Roomster?

Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every Sonoran Desert Institute 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 Sonoran Desert Institute groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the Sonoran Desert Institute community: only students with a verified @sdi.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. Sonoran Desert Institute students looking for verified students near me, Tempe roommates near me, or Sonoran Desert Institute housing near campus get the cleanest signal of any roommate app on the market.
