 Just wrote another post about renting to college students here:

They're great, once you figure out how to do it and find grad students.  Law or med students are best.  MBA students were usually flaky, unless it was a joint law or other degree.  They didn't create problems, they just didn't stay over a couple of months.  Joint degrees with law did stay, usually several years - like law/business degrees.  Also, engineering students were great, even undergrads.  And all international students were great.  They're serious students.  They'll probably want to leave over summer, but see what I wrote in the other post about subletting over summer.

Oh, and I gave tenants a $100 rent credit if they referred someone to me that I rented to.  I usually had a waiting list.
