Semester subleases

Semester subleases at Fortis Institute.

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

Why Crashmates

Is Crashmates better than Bunky or Roomster for Fortis Institute?

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