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

Why does Roomster fail Colby College students?
Other roommate apps don’t verify students. Roomster charges every Colby 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 Colby College groups are full of brokers and fake posts. Craigslist is a privacy nightmare. Crashmates was built specifically for the Colby College community: only students with a verified @colby.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.
