Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) August 27, 2004
Both first time and returning college students will have an easier time locating an apartment off-campus this Fall while pocketing extra spending money with a new college housing search feature offered by Rent. com, one of the nationÂ’s leading apartment Internet Listing Sites.
Students can search on more than 3,600 colleges and universities nationwide ― the largest amount of educational institutions of any apartment Internet listing site. Students can save time and money comparing apartments and rental rates from more than 4.1 million apartments with its new university search feature. In addition to Rent. comÂ’s free service, the Company will reward students with $100 when a lease is completed.
The site offers a more convenient and comprehensive search experience based on the siteÂ’s new advanced search technology. Renters can quickly search property listings on a powerful search engine that provides accurate geo-targeted results. Rent. com is able to pinpoint registered apartment properties near universities and colleges on its site nationwide to help them find the best location to live at the most affordable rate.
After free registration on the site, Rent. com allows students to search for an apartment closest to the educational institution where they will be attending. By simply applying key filters such as the number of bedrooms they would like, their preference for pets, their budget range, the state, and college or university where they will be attending, Rent. com instantly searches its comprehensive database to deliver the properties closest matching their requirements.
“Tell us where you’re attending college and we’ll provide you with the closest listings for you to comparison shop. Then make your lease through Rent. com and we’ll reward you with a hundred bucks, said Scott Ingraham, CEO of Rent. com. “Don’t forget that when you graduate and land a job we’ll find you a new pad and put a fresh hundred on you. When it comes to renting, it’s about Rent. com,” he added.
While Ivy-covered dormitories and spring-fever music blaring from their open dorm windows may well epitomize undergraduate student living these on-campus quarters are actually home to a minority of full-time college denizens, according to an analysis of new data from Census 2000. The research reveals that the lion's share of the $53 billion college market lives off campus.
