Boston University (BU) Housing, Sublets & Roommates

Simplify your search for a rental or renter

Online screening is tough, take two minutes to make it easier.

Download the goConfirm mobile app

You'll need your mobile device to sign up and complete verification. Head to the iOS App Store, Google Play Store, or scan the QR code above to get the goConfirm app.

Once you’ve downloaded the app, your first step will be to enter your email and set a password. Next, we’ll move on to building your profile!

Set a profile photo

First, set a profile photo—this should be well-lit and closely cropped to your face. Make sure to choose a photo with no glasses or obstructions, and no other people in the frame.

Your profile photo will not be public, and is only shared with verified users who connect with you through a goCode you choose to share.

Verify your identity

Choose the appropriate country and ID type. Scan your ID in a well-lit room on a neutral background. Lastly, a quick face scan to make sure the person using your ID is you. You're done!

Create your goCode

You're ready to create your goCode! A unique code used to connect with others and build trust in relation to one specific transaction. Enter a descriptive name, choose all the platforms where you intend to share it, and choose an expiry date.

Copy, paste, and share

On the confirmation screen for your goCode, tap the button to copy it to your clipboard. Switch back over to Facebook, and paste it into your new draft post. Submit your post as usual!

Connect with interested members

When another member is interested in your listing or might have one that matches your needs, make sure you ask them to connect using your goCode. They can do this by entering your code in their own goConfirm app.

When they connect, you'll exchange verified profiles and have improved confidence in one another, as well as a record of your connection in the event you need it.

I depend on goConfirm whenever I buy stuff on subreddits and in FB groups. The peace of mind was badly needed.
Really easy identity check

When I'm buying or selling more expensive items, I always want to know who I'm meeting with. Too many scams and risks out there. This app made it dead simple and you can't beat free.
Super smooth

Selling a kitchen table. Setting up the whole transaction here was super smooth. Totally get why you'd want to go a more verified route like with this app.
Great way to feel confident about your transaction

I have never bought tickets before in this group because of all the horror stories ... I bought tickets seamlessly using the goConfirm code.

Another CSUN rooms for rent group uses it, and it makes me feel safer connecting with people I may potentially live with or rent from in that group. I’ve almost been scammed before, so that kind of security is important to me. It’ll help filter out potential scammers or spammers.
