The tricky parts of splitting expenses in college

The friend who never has cash

Venmo and Zelle exist but tracking who owes what across dozens of small purchases is the real challenge.

Different meal plan situations

Some roommates have unlimited dining hall access, others cook every meal. Only split food costs among those who share.

Subletting and summer moves

Someone moves out mid semester. Settle all shared expenses before they go.

The end of year reckoning

Months of small debts add up. An app keeps the running total so there are no surprises in May.
