Katie--

I think everyone gave wonderful suggestions and they are something you should consider before you get your place.

If you rent from a "subletter", you can risk losing your place very rapidly. But THE LAW in most states is 30 days for move out. A person who sublets is someone who owns the condo. If you truly like the place, then you can request more time at the time of signing the contract... I only say that because my friend had a hard time finding a place to live and she found a nice condo that she had to give up.

Depending on your state, there are some deposits they give back and others they do not give back... Make sure you know which one's they are. Cleaning NEVER comes back. Security might come back to you.

Your university housing bureau should have some kind of info on getting a place. When I got my first place, I was 23 years old and I used the info from my university...

And yeah, Renter's is so very nice. USAA did right by me, but a parent or yourself has to be currently active duty or honorably discharged or retired.
