Why Crashmates

Built for Columbia College Chicago. Not for Roomster.

Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every Columbia College Chicago 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 Columbia College Chicago groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the Columbia College Chicago community: only students with a verified @colum.edu email can join, browsing and matching are free forever, and you only pay credits when you choose to send the first message — no subscriptions, no auto-renewals, no $30/month surprises. Columbia College Chicago students looking for verified students near me, Chicago roommates near me, or Columbia College Chicago housing near campus get the cleanest signal of any roommate app on the market.
