Of course they will want a credit check on you. They can charge whatever they want for it, maybe $25. You may need to pay for an occupancy permit.. Maybe that is $35. First month's rent and the security deposit is usually the same amount. Some places only charge $99 security because if it's $100 or more they have to pay you 6% interest on it.

Goi to craigslist.com and look for apartments. Contact your school and they can give you some referrals.

Definitely check with the school.

I'd not bother with craigslist... not too many people here even KNOW about it, yet alone use it!

The Tribune-Review classified may work well for you.
Here's their Youngwood listings -
