Why Merritt students switch from Roomster.
Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every Merritt 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 Merritt groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the Merritt community: only students with a verified @merritt.edu email can join, browsing and matching are free forever, and you only pay credits when you choose to send the first message — no subscriptions, no auto-renewals, no $30/month surprises. Merritt students looking for verified students near me, Oakland roommates near me, or Merritt housing near campus get the cleanest signal of any roommate app on the market.
Real Merritt reviews.
“No subscription trap. I bought 10 credits, used 4 of them, still have 6 sitting in my account.”
“Mutual likes means no cold spam. Quality over quantity. Way better signal than the apps charging $30/mo.”
“Came from Roomster which was 90% bots. This is night and day. Free to browse, free to match.”
