Why do College of the Desert students use Crashmates instead of Roomster?
Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every College of the Desert 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 College of the Desert groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the College of the Desert community: only students with a verified @collegeofthedesert.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.
