this strategy is good for any place anywhere. I used this same method while i did my undergrad and grad work. I found a really nice place paid several months rent up front, pledged I'd be there until a graduated. ( not hard since this was my plan and i hate moving with a passion!) i then rented out the rooms to the best people i could find. i bundled utilities at a flat rate. i found people preferred to know what they would pay upfront. not only did i get what i wanted, but i also was able to pick the choice places in the apt for my stuff and reduce the amount of rent i paid. This is the hacker hustle that extends way beyond coding and helps if you ever launch a startup.
