Semester subleases

Semester subleases at University of the West.

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

Why Crashmates

Why do University of the West students use Crashmates instead of Roomster?

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