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

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