Semester subleases

Semester subleases at The Wright Institute.

Every fall and spring, The Wright Institute 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 The Wright Institute needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease. Crashmates matches both sides, and everyone's a verified The Wright Institute student — not a stranger off Facebook.

Why Crashmates

Is Crashmates better than Bunky or Roomster for The Wright Institute?

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