Why Crashmates

What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for Illinois Wesleyan University students?

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