Getting the rent out of them is no issue - there's usually 2 people per flat/plex, splitting the rent (so only 350$/month per person) - student loans and working part time allow them to cover that easily.
The summer months are hard - but usually average 60% for summer sublets, and some students keep their lease year round and pick up summer courses, or summer jobs in the city. Much easier to get a job in the city, than in their hickstown that they grew up in for some.
Students are good people - especially when they're on their own in an appartment - they know that if they get evicted, their school could be fucked over.
