Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Rhode Island School of Design.

Every fall and spring, Rhode Island School of Design students leave for a semester — study abroad, internships, co-ops, early graduation — and need someone to take their room in Providence instead of paying for an empty one. At the same time, exchange students, transfers, and interns arrive at Rhode Island School of Design needing a place for a single term, not a year-long lease.

Why Crashmates

Why do Rhode Island School of Design students use Crashmates instead of Roomster?

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