Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Widener University.

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

Why Crashmates

Why does Roomster fail Widener University students?

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