What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for University of Illinois Chicago students?
Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every University of Illinois 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 University of Illinois Chicago groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare.
