I'm assuming your University will have some variation of an International Student Office. They can help you do paperwork to get a bank account so you can use checks to pay the rent and fees. I'm betting they could also hook you up with other foreign students in a similar position. I just finished a move that was full of craigslist bullshit and realestate agents that never called back. My most valuable lesson was checking out a place in a less desirable area, to find out it was right by a college and a police station to help keep crime in check; huge place for (New Jersey Standards) cheap.

Ashcans posted:Incidentally, not only is that really sketchy, it is straight up illegal in every state I have ever rented. Usually if a landlord cannot provide individually metered utilities, they have to simply account for it in the rent. So check on that. Or you end up like me, with a water heater for every one bedroom apartment. I sure do enjoy that gas bill and running my shower for 5 minutes every morning to bring in the hot water! Also where I am month and a half is a normal deposit on an apartment, so to me Zaftig doesn't seem to have it that bad for for a bunch of 20-somethings with (I assume) no rental history and a pet.
