Semester subleases at Laney College.
Every fall and spring, Laney College students leave for a semester — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — and need someone to take their room in Oakland instead of paying for an empty one. At the same time, exchange students, transfers, and interns arrive at Laney College needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease.

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