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

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