Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Institute of Buddhist Studies.

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

Why Crashmates

Why does Roomster fail Institute of Buddhist Studies students?

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