Thank you, everyone. I will follow up on your suggestions. I already called CSU - Fenn tower is available, but he'd have to be in a quad (2 bedrooms, 4 people, 1 bath). Sharing a bedroom is not too desirable, especially with a stranger. And it rents for $200/week, which makes it quite expensive considering he won't even have his own room.

How would you rate the different areas as far as desirability for a college student?

I called them. The apartments are unfurnished - and extremely small (almost claustrophobic)! They add an additional $75/month for short-term leases...bringing the cost up to the $700 (or more - I can't remember) per month range. Renting furniture will result in the total cost being quite high.

Trying that - but it's a little scary.

They seem too expensive, from looking at the websites.

Okay - deal. Unfortunately, I'm not having a lot of luck. Finding a short term furnished place is very difficult.

Heritage Suites Apartments are now owned by Cleveland State and they only rent to Cleveland State students. Boo... I'm trying all of the suggestions that everyone is giving. Thanks again.

Do you have air-conditioning there? We live in Memphis, and need air-conditioning all summer.

Thanks, buckeye1 for the very helpful pdf. I've printed it out and will begin investigating. It's so hard to have to search for an apartment long-distance, especially considering that we need something right away and we don't know anything about the areas.

What are Ohio City and Tremont like? Would they be good places to live?

Thanks, everyone. I wrote to the ad for the sublease in the warehouse district. No response yet. What is the warehouse district like? Is it safe? Is it noisy? Would there be any place around there to jog? I think Shaker Square, Cleveland Hts, etc. would be too much of a drive to Cuyahoga Hts. Some people have suggested that we look in Independence or Valley View, but I can't find any available apartments in those places. What other suburbs would you recommend and what suburbs should we avoid? Thanks for your advice.

My 21 year old son just secured a 12 week summer internship in Cuyahoga Hts., Ohio. We live in Tennessee and can't travel to OH in time to help him find an apartment. He starts work May 17th. We will be conducting this search long distance, although I have a family member who may be able to take a look at a few places. We have no idea which neighborhoods to try to find a place in...or what to avoid. We want something safe and not terribly far from where he'll be working (or at least with easy highway access). I lived in Cleveland Hts many years ago, but I'm sure that would be inconvenient, though perhaps nice for a young single person who has no friends in town. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!
