Re: Any one of you from New Jersey?
Hey Marjan,
We found our apartment on Craigslist. I don't know if you are familiar with it, but it's pretty popular in the states for finding all kinds of stuff locally.
One thing I would watch out for, assuming she is coming from overseas, is the amount of personal and credit information frequently required when renting an apartment. I would not give any of that out to someone over the internet.
I would recommend she get in touch with an advisor at the University, and maybe they could help her find a student already here with an extra room for rent, or know of a housing option that would work for her.
Good luck!
