There a lot of houses and apartments around the Claremont area (with 5 colleges there) Prices range from high for fairly new apartments ($1400-1500 for 2 bdrm) to low for houses/renting a room ($250-400 for a room, $800-1200 for a 2-3 bdrm house). Sometimes postbacs will rent together, Jodi will usually send out a list of admits in the next 1-2 months so you can contact each other and arrange that stuff.
