Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Lehigh University.

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

Why Crashmates

What makes Crashmates different from other roommate apps for Lehigh University students?

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

Can I find a semester or study-abroad sublease at Lehigh University?
Yes. Crashmates has a dedicated semester-sublet flow for Lehigh University.

Both sides are verified Lehigh University students, posting and browsing are free, the first message in a new conversation costs one credit, and there’s no year-long lease to sign.
How is Crashmates different from Roomster or Bunky for Lehigh University?
