Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Howard Community College.

Every fall and spring, Howard Community College students leave for a semester — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — and need someone to take their room in Columbia instead of paying for an empty one. At the same time, exchange students, transfers, and interns arrive at Howard Community College needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease.

Why Crashmates

What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for Howard Community College students?

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