Why Crashmates

Why do University of Illinois Springfield students use Crashmates instead of Roomster?

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