I didnt mean to scare you off about George. He isn't going to shoot you if you don't pay your rent. Quite the opposite- he is very understanding about waiting for your refund check to come in, etc..

The place is pretty safe too. The one time we had problems was when they released this known criminal from jail and he tryed to steal food or something. George hunted him down quick. He's not like Ross security who just take a report and "look into it"

It is not the closest to the campus, but it is not that far either. The closer you go to campus the more $$$rent. If you want to spend $1000 USD you can get some nice places within a stones throw.

A particular fav of mine is the "pink house" it would be tough to beat the views of that place.

Your 1st semester you may have to settle for whatever, but once you get the lay of the land you can network yourself into a nicer place.

Whatever you do, I discourage you from sending deposits to anyone you do not know personally. Even the housing office. I'm not saying to not contact the housing officers- they are very useful for the uninitiated 1st semester student.
