Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Occidental College.

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

Why Crashmates

Is Crashmates better than Bunky or Roomster for Occidental College?

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