Semester subleases

Semester subleases at William & Mary.

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

Why Crashmates

Is Crashmates better than Bunky or Roomster for William & Mary?

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