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

Is Crashmates better than Bunky or Roomster for Bates College?
Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every Bates 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 Bates College groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the Bates College community: only students with a verified @bates.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. Bates College students looking for verified students near me, Lewiston roommates near me, or Bates College housing near campus get the cleanest signal of any roommate app on the market.
