Hello all! I'm hoping the majority of you have already completed a clinical [or more]. I'm starting PT school this fall, and my first 6-week clinical will be next May I believe.
My question is this: other than the rare circumstances where your clinic provided room & board for your 6-10 week stint, how did you go about finding housing? No one I've talked to can give me a straight answer about this other than 'family' and 'Craigslist'. I will likely be doing a majority of my clinicals in areas where I have no friends or family and I've always been very wary of Craigslist in general. I know it's not typical to find an apartment that will give you a 6-week lease, so I'm very curious what the plethora of PT students before me have done.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
