Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Gratz College.

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

Why Crashmates

Is Crashmates better than Bunky or Roomster for Gratz College?

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