Semester subleases at Yale.
Every fall and spring, Yale students leave for a semester — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — and need someone to take their room in New Haven instead of paying for an empty one. At the same time, exchange students, transfers, and interns arrive at Yale needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease. Crashmates matches both sides, and everyone's a verified Yale student — not a stranger off Facebook.

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