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

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