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

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