Why Crashmates

What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for California State University-Chico students?

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