Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Indiana University-Bloomington.

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

Why Crashmates

What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for Indiana University-Bloomington students?

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