Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Illinois Institute of Technology.

Every fall and spring, Illinois Institute of Technology students leave for a semester — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — and need someone to take their room in Chicago instead of paying for an empty one. At the same time, exchange students, transfers, and interns arrive at Illinois Institute of Technology needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease.

Why Crashmates

Why do Illinois Institute of Technology students use Crashmates instead of Roomster?

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