Semester subleases at Rush University.
Every fall and spring, Rush University 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 Rush University needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease. Crashmates matches both sides, and everyone's a verified Rush University student — not a stranger off Facebook.

What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for Rush University students?
Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every Rush 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 Rush University groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the Rush University community: only students with a verified @rushu.rush.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. Rush University students looking for verified students near me, Chicago roommates near me, or Rush University housing near campus get the cleanest signal of any roommate app on the market.
