My boyfriend and I are both about to attend Rutgers for grad school. We've been looking at off campus apartments. What's the best place to look? The Rutger's housing website stinks. So far, we've been scouring through craigslist. Is there anything else that people use to find apartments? Is it possible to find a decent studio and/or 1 bedroom (that's less than 25 mins driving from the Busch campus) for less than $950/month?
So far, we have had little success. If the price is right (less than $950), then the quality sucks (it smells like cigarettes, is 200 square feet, or there are stains everywhere). We'd really rather not live with other roomates.
Has anybody had any success in finding a good quality apartment for less than $950/month that was in OK condition? Is it in a complex? And if so, which one?
