Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Rutgers University-Newark.

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

Why Crashmates

Why does Roomster fail Rutgers University-Newark students?

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