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.
