I would just be sure you add the parents as guarantors since the tenants are pretty much judgment proof. You'll have to provide furnished units which may be an additional headache for you.

There is definitely a season for student rentals to start.  I would not think you are in that season now. It is usually late august /early September  or  June start to the lease. Shopping at least 6 months prior although there is a later surge in students looking.  We do both student and non-student rentals but student rentals are different they need more orientation to renting and how things in a house work.  Also by the room has common area maintenance issues and if you have 3 or fewer bedrooms it is not to me worth the drama/costs.  Who furnishes common area, who maintains it? they are not the cleanest people.

 Look on the ISU off campus housing website and the listings there can inform you on  the usual terms in your area. If it is like here many places wont be taken down when rented.  Also talk to someone renting to students in the area to see if your location is a preferred location. Here the kids have very specific neighborhoods they like to live in.
