Why compatibility beats being first near Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Near a big campus, rooms turn over fast and it's tempting to grab the first lease you can. But a mismatched roommate — opposite schedules, different cleanliness standards, money friction — is what turns a school year miserable.
Roomit is compatibility-first: instead of swiping on photos, you match on the factors that predict whether two people live well together, with optional identity verification so you're meeting real people. See how the matching works.
