So it is crunch time now and you need to find a place to live fast. As you probably know by now, finding accommodation at the last minute can be a tough thing to do, especially if your school is in a small town that doesn’t have very many student apartments. Although you can still try your luck looking around for an apartment guide, I have a better idea.

Head to your computer and pull up www.college-rentals.yolasite.com. Most of these have last minute student rentals in every city that houses a college campus. Better yet, many of them are available year round, which means that your search just might be over!

The trick to finding a place to live as a college student is getting a landlord that is fair and understands the needs of college students. Many of them do not, which is a problem when it comes time to moving out or finding a new roommate. Many students get caught in bad deals and as a result, wind up hurting their credit in the end.

Don’t let this happen to you! Using an online student rentals directory you can look quickly and easily for a student apartment in the area of your school. You can check out prices and locations ahead of time so that you can shop based on your budget. If you are trying to stay out of certain areas, then you can do that as well.

When all else fails, ask the housing office at your school or check the bulletin boards to see if anyone is looking for a roommate. If you find a roommate, you can split the cost in two and worry more about school than about finding a job that can help you pay for your rent and utilities.

                                                                 
If you can’t help but wait till the last minute to shop for a student apartment or rental home, then you will have to go where the other students didn’t. This means doing a little bit more work and may be scaling down your expectations. If you can find a 6 month lease, you should opt for that just in case you want to find a better place for the 2nd half of the school year. Sure, moving isn’t fun, but it might be worth it.

Students have it rough, there is no doubt. You have to worry about school supplies, registering for classes, and buying books. When you add the task of finding an apartment on top of that, well – you have your work cut out for you. Save yourself some time by taking advantage of technology. Search from your computer rather than your car and save yourself some precious time and money. It really is amazing what you can find on the internet when you search hard enough. Think you live in an obscure area that won’t be covered? Think again, college apartment directories usually have everything you need. Just don’t wait any longer than you have to!
