About Tufts housing

Where do Tufts students live off campus?

Crashmates connects verified Tufts students across Medford, MA (ZIP 02155). Whether you are looking for Tufts housing near campus, off-campus housing near Tufts, or rooms for rent in Medford, every listing is from a student verified through their @tufts.edu email. The platform covers Medford and the surrounding Middlesex County area. Crashmates makes finding Tufts subleases, lease takeovers, and roommate matches faster than Craigslist, Facebook groups, or paid subscription apps, because every profile is verified before it is visible to other students. Verification completes in under 30 seconds via a one-click email code cross-checked against the federal IPEDS database — the same registry the US Department of Education uses to track every accredited college.

Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Tufts.

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

Why Crashmates

What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for Tufts students?

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

Stuff Tufts students ask

Frequently asked questions about Tufts roommates.

How does .edu verification work at Tufts?
Sign up with your @tufts.edu email. We send a code, you click it, you’re into the Tufts community in under 30 seconds. The email’s domain is cross-checked against the federal IPEDS database to confirm Tufts University is an accredited US school — verifying the institution, not your transcripts.
Is Crashmates free for Tufts students?
Yes. Browsing, matching, and posting are free, with 10 free credits to start. Sign up with your @tufts.edu email — you only spend a credit to send the first message in a new conversation. No subscription, no catch.
Who can join Crashmates at Tufts?
Every verified Tufts student. Accounts are tied to a working @tufts.edu email at Tufts University, cross-checked against the federal IPEDS database. No bots, no non-students, no Craigslist scammers.
Where do Tufts students live?
Most Tufts students rent in and around Medford, MA (ZIP 02155), in Middlesex County. Crashmates shows verified students looking for housing within the Medford area, close to campus.
Can I post a sublease or lease takeover at Tufts?
Yes — posting is always free. Whether it’s a summer sublease in Medford, a study-abroad takeover, or an emergency lease bailout, just verify your @tufts.edu email and post. Other verified Tufts students can browse your listing for free and spend one credit to send you the first message.
Can I find a semester or study-abroad sublease at Tufts?
Yes. Crashmates has a dedicated semester-sublet flow for Tufts. Students leaving for a term — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — post their room in Medford, and students arriving for a single semester browse and book them. Both sides are verified Tufts students, posting and browsing are free, the first message in a new conversation costs one credit, and there’s no year-long lease to sign.
How is Crashmates different from Roomster or Bunky for Tufts?
Roomster charges a subscription and lets anyone in — most profiles are bots or scammers. Bunky doesn’t verify students or carry housing listings. Crashmates is the only platform that combines verified-Tufts-only access with both roommate matching and real housing listings (rooms, subleases, lease takeovers).
