About UCLA housing

Where do UCLA students live off campus?

Crashmates connects verified UCLA students across Los Angeles, CA (ZIP 90095). Whether you are looking for UCLA housing near campus, off-campus housing near UCLA, or rooms for rent in Los Angeles, every listing is from a student verified through their @ucla.edu email. The platform covers Los Angeles and the surrounding Los Angeles County area. Crashmates makes finding UCLA subleases, lease takeovers, and roommate matches faster than Craigslist, Facebook groups, or paid subscription apps, because every profile is verified before it is visible to other students. Verification completes in under 30 seconds via a one-click email code cross-checked against the federal IPEDS database — the same registry the US Department of Education uses to track every accredited college.

Semester subleases

Semester subleases at UCLA.

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

Why Crashmates

What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for UCLA students?

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

Stuff UCLA students ask

Frequently asked questions about UCLA roommates.

How does .edu verification work at UCLA?
Sign up with your @ucla.edu email. We send a code, you click it, you’re into the UCLA community in under 30 seconds. The email’s domain is cross-checked against the federal IPEDS database to confirm University of California-Los Angeles is an accredited US school — verifying the institution, not your transcripts.
Is Crashmates free for UCLA students?
Yes. Browsing, matching, and posting are free, with 10 free credits to start. Sign up with your @ucla.edu email — you only spend a credit to send the first message in a new conversation. No subscription, no catch.
Who can join Crashmates at UCLA?
Every verified UCLA student. Accounts are tied to a working @ucla.edu email at University of California-Los Angeles, cross-checked against the federal IPEDS database. No bots, no non-students, no Craigslist scammers.
Where do UCLA students live?
Most UCLA students rent in and around Los Angeles, CA (ZIP 90095), in Los Angeles County. Crashmates shows verified students looking for housing within the Los Angeles area, close to campus.
Can I post a sublease or lease takeover at UCLA?
Yes — posting is always free. Whether it’s a summer sublease in Los Angeles, a study-abroad takeover, or an emergency lease bailout, just verify your @ucla.edu email and post. Other verified UCLA students can browse your listing for free and spend one credit to send you the first message.
Can I find a semester or study-abroad sublease at UCLA?
Yes. Crashmates has a dedicated semester-sublet flow for UCLA. Students leaving for a term — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — post their room in Los Angeles, and students arriving for a single semester browse and book them. Both sides are verified UCLA students, posting and browsing are free, the first message in a new conversation costs one credit, and there’s no year-long lease to sign.
How is Crashmates different from Roomster or Bunky for UCLA?
Roomster charges a subscription and lets anyone in — most profiles are bots or scammers. Bunky doesn’t verify students or carry housing listings. Crashmates is the only platform that combines verified-UCLA-only access with both roommate matching and real housing listings (rooms, subleases, lease takeovers).
