<p>Is there any way to get cheap summer housing for a short 3-month lease for things like summer research and employment and the like? UVA Housing charges worrying rates for the summer and I'll tolerate something living 6 to a room.</p>
<p>Otherwise I may have to live in the chem building and shower in the AFC for 3 months. :/ (This seems doable -- just where do I stash my stuff though?)</p>
<p>Lots of people sublet their apartment/houses in the summer. If you can wait it out until late April/early May when people start freaking out that they don’t have anyone to sublet to, they’ll often give you a huge discount (up to about half off rent, maybe even more this year with the economy) and rent can be dirt cheap, especially along JPA and past the Corner (Gordon+)</p>
<p>I have already seen a few posted on hoohasit and uloop. The rent(s) looked doable and may be negotiable.</p>
<p>My son has a room on JPA that he plans to rent out for the summer. If you are interest PM me and I put you in touch with him.</p>
<p>Can I ask what are the lowest rates that can be achieved for subletting? I’m a low-income student who just wants to be able to accept a summer position (and some additional work), and really only needs a place to sleep, wash and store stuff. All these postings seem really extravagant.</p>
<p>Where do the folk living below the poverty line in C’ville live anyway? I don’t need a “nice” sublet. I’d be willing to room with 6 other people. I mean, the only thing preventing me from sleeping in the chem computer lab and washing up at the afc is the lack of storage space [that I could rent] and a place to do laundry (and heck my card could still probably swipe me into the IRC’s laundry room.)</p>
<p>Is there any way to pay just $300-$400 for the whole summer? </p>
<p>Otherwise I could just find a cheap place to stash my stuff and live in the chem building (maybe if the lab isn’t comfortable enough, I could sleep in the lecture theatre?). The Curry School building also seems habitable.</p>

<li>I think that’s illegeal</li>
<li>have you looked into renting a room with another student? You could easily find a room for 300/month for the summer, split 2 ways, that’d be 450 for the summer.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks shoebox for saying what I wanted to say. Living in academic buildings of UVA is a no no.</p>
<p>i dunno, i mean, thornton stays open all night long… i’d be there until midnight or so last summer since my sublet had no internet and it was right across the street. </p>
<p>my ex used to sleep in clemons when he didn’t want to drive home (he lived quite a ways up 29 and commuted). haha.</p>
<p>Would rent ever reach like say, 150-175/mo? (And then split?)</p>
<p>Why are there only single/double postings online? Would one have to scour manually on the street to find housing involving more people per room? (For lower prices?)</p>
<p>Most people living off grounds aren’t going to be sharing a room so naturally they don’t have 2 beds or the space for 2 people. I don’t think you’ll be able to find 150-175, your lowest rates might be at the 250-300 level. For cheaper options you might want to consider renting a room in a house (either students or someone with an extra room), those rooms tend to be cheaper.</p>
<p>Why not post your own “ad” on HooHasIt or Craigslist? I imagine you’ll have more success posting on those sites than here on College Confidential.</p>
<p>There are plenty on JPA… just go on craigslist and you’ll find one for sure!</p>
