Why Crashmates

Built for Shaw. Not for Roomster.

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

Mutual likes means no cold spam. Quality over quantity. Way better signal than the apps charging $30/mo.

Found my roommate in 3 days. Verified, real, actually at my school. Crashmates is the only thing that worked.

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