Matching live · Baltimore, MD
Find a roommate in Baltimore
Most Baltimore rentals are whole 2–4 bedroom units, so finding the right roommates is usually what makes a place affordable. SphereHub matches you with students who fit your schedule, cleanliness and budget, then lets you apply to a listing together.
29 students already have roommate profiles at UMBC. Splitting a 4-bed saves about $600/mo per person.
How roommate matching works
- 1
Answer a few lifestyle questions
Short, one-tap screens about how you live. No account needed until you want to see your matches.
- 2
See ranked matches and why
Every match shows a compatibility score and the specific things you agree and differ on.
- 3
Connect and talk it through
Send a connection request, chat in the app, and add an optional intro video or voice note.
What we match you on
Most roommate fallouts are about the same few things: money, mess, noise and schedules. SphereHub asks about each one up front.
Budget
Your rent ceiling and whether a little over is OK.
Move-in date
So you are matched with people on the same lease cycle.
Area and commute
Where you want to live and your max commute to campus.
Sleep schedule
Early riser or night owl, matched on compatibility only.
