Student Housing Community Manager here....so ask away. There are alot of things you should know. Student Housing apartment living is slightly different than conventional (regular) apartments but the law is the law no matter what type of apartment you are in. Your lease is created around the law.
Upfront $$$ - Almost ever apartment requires a deposit and some money upfront for application fee, reservation fee, no hassle move out fee, security deposit, etc....there's a name for everything. When searching, make sure you have at least $400 $500.
Signing the Lease - Don't sign anything unless you read it.
Never pay anyone to locate an apartment for you...unless you are desparate.
The best apartments are those that have everything included in the market rent i.e. washer/dryer, utilities, cable, etc.
