Does anyone know how easy it is to find subleters for the summer around Cambridge? Do most Boston grad students rent temporarily just for the academic year, like in a sublet-type situation, or lease year-round and then sublease their apartment to others during the summer if they're away? I'm going to be in Cambridge for the academic year and I'm trying to decide if it would be better to try and get an academic-year sublet in an apartment shared with some others for 8 months or so, probably in Somerville, or lease year long and then rent out the apartment in the summer when I'm away. I'm planning on spending next summer overseas, so I'm thinking a year-long lease might be the best situation as I could then sublet the room out during the summer while still storing some of my things there that I don't want to bring with me overseas (bike, ect.).
Thanks!!
