Semester subleases

Semester subleases at University of the District of Columbia.

At the same time, exchange students, transfers, and interns arrive at University of the District of Columbia needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease.

Why Crashmates

Is Crashmates better than Bunky or Roomster for University of the District of Columbia?

Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every University of the District of Columbia 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 District of Columbia groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the University of the District of Columbia community: only students with a verified @udc.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.
