What Roomster gets wrong at Drake.
Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every Drake 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 Drake groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the Drake community: only students with a verified @drake.edu email can join, browsing and matching are free forever, and you only pay credits when you choose to send the first message — no subscriptions, no auto-renewals, no $30/month surprises. Drake students looking for verified students near me, Des Moines roommates near me, or Drake housing near campus get the cleanest signal of any roommate app on the market.
