Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Eastern Kentucky University.

Every fall and spring, Eastern Kentucky University students leave for a semester — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — and need someone to take their room in Richmond instead of paying for an empty one. At the same time, exchange students, transfers, and interns arrive at Eastern Kentucky University needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease. Crashmates matches both sides, and everyone's a verified Eastern Kentucky University student — not a stranger off Facebook.

Why Crashmates

What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for Eastern Kentucky University students?

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