Is Crashmates better than Bunky or Roomster for Eastern Illinois University?
Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every Eastern Illinois 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 Eastern Illinois University groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the Eastern Illinois University community: only students with a verified @eiu.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.
