Off-campus housing?

<p>I'm an out of state student who is going to be relocating to the area for a summer internship. I'd want to live with other students so that I can have a fun summer and make some friends in the area, and I was hoping someone here could point me to an area or "village" of houses or apartments. I'm not looking for a place notorious for alcohol related deaths and gunshots, but I am looking to party a bit in the weekends. I have been going through roommate matching sites and craigslist, but the problem is people often don't talk about themselves / the other occupants...</p>
