Why Crashmates

What Roomster gets wrong at Des Moines University.

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

Solid app. Wish there were more verified students in my niche but the ones here were legit.

Came from Roomster which was 90% bots. This is night and day. Free to browse, free to match.

I was skeptical but the verification is real. Every profile I matched with was an actual classmate.
