Why Crashmates

Why does Roomster fail Southwestern Illinois College students?

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