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

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