College: U of M Flint, what is a nice apartment complex?

Im going to go to college at University of Michigan Flint for physical therapy school after this summer 2011 and am looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment around 15 to 20 mins off campus. Where do a lot of the Grad students live? Bonus points if you can give an estimated cost per month, what is included, the safeness of the area ect.

1. You might check with the on campus housing office for assistance. They normally have excellent leads for off campus rentals. Web sites are a good place to find an apartment or house to rent, if you want to go through the entire list to find one in your state and then city. The best place to look for places to rent is to go to the yellow pages of your telephone book, look under property managers. These individuals list properties for rent in certain areas, so make sure you select the areas in which you wish to rent. Call several of the property managers listed there, tell them you want a list of properties that they have for rent. Some will fax, email or mail the list of local places to rent along with the address, number of bedrooms and bath rooms, amenities available, such as washer and dryers or gyms, the monthly rental of the unit. Most will include a rental application. These list will include the monthly rental required, if a lease or month to month agreement will be signed. They will also indicate if they will accept Section 8 vouchers. They will also indicate it they have disabled access, allow pets and if so the type allowed. They might indicate a web site that you might visit to get their list of places to rent. It does not cost to get a rental list from a reputable property manager. Some will require you to stop by their office and pick up the list. A lot of them post their list outside so the list are available 24/7 365. Make sure you don't fall for the scams and purchase a list as 70%-80% of these list are composed of free list they have compiled. They are not the property managers of any property in most instances. You might also google Property managers in whatever city or community you want to live in and see what comes up. Again do not pay for this information as it is free from reliable property managers. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. "FIGHT ON"
2. I live in Flint and the crime rate is very high. You do have to be alert wherever you go but if you stick towards the very south end of Genesee County or the east it's not to bad. It would be better to live in Grand Blanc or Davison and drive an extra 5-10 minutes or even Fenton. It does cost a little more but to some saftey is worth it.
