Hey I'm a second year student and have a place that you might want to consider.
It's through ERA Four Horizon's Reality. 514 W. Scott Street, Apt#4 will be open June 1st and Apt# 2 & 3 will be open Aug 1st
It's a good sized (larger than med row) 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with a big living room. It has central heat, dish washer, and the will be adding a washer/dryer when I leave. The rent is $400/month and I usually pay $39/month for electricity/heat and $12/month for water and trash. It is a great deal and 1 block from campus (med row is 2 blocks).
Other options do exist right around the campus, but I'd suggest you come and look at them before renting.
The student apartments are okay, most of my classmates complain that the walls are too thin... which they are. But it just depend on how you handle noise and where you study.
If you go for the 514 W. Scott St Apt. let them know that William sent you and demand the $400 rent or even ask for $375 (which could be accepted). I could for see them increasing rent when the washer and dryer are added. If they do, I'd recomment other places over this one! Marvin Gardens is about the same size, rent and includes a washer/dryer.
Best of luck next year.
