Why Crashmates

Ohio State University students deserve better.

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