Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Temple University.

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

Why Crashmates

Is Crashmates better than Bunky or Roomster for Temple University?

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