Why Crashmates

Why do School of the Art Institute of Chicago students use Crashmates instead of Roomster?

Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every School of the Art Institute of 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 School of the Art Institute of Chicago groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago community: only students with a verified @saic.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.
