Why Crashmates

Colby students deserve better.

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

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

No subscription trap. I bought 10 credits, used 4 of them, still have 6 sitting in my account.

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