For leases for apartments, for an "Employer/Income source" should we just list "Student - Student loans?"

Thanks.

*Sorry for starting a thread just for this.
 
Don't apologize, it's a good question. If they aren't used to having a lot of students then you might need a co-signer. The places I live are used to students and I just give them a copy of my financial aid budget/award showing that I will have a specific amount of money to live off of (unless mom and dad are paying)--that may be between 15-20K depending on where you go to school and the cost of living. That should work or if all else fails ask the leasing staff.
 
Yeah, cosigning and showing your financial aid should be fine.

In general, Id imagine med students make pretty good tenants considering they're generally not as noisy as undergrads.
 
So the person co-signing it isn't your roommate right...but a guardian?
 
a co-signer is someone that will be held financially responsible should you be unable to pay your rent...it can be your roommate depending on their finances, but usually it's a parent or relative or someone with good credit that's willing to vouch for you.
