Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Allen University.

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

Why Crashmates

Why do Allen University students use Crashmates instead of Roomster?

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