Housing

So far, besides the wonderful multitude of papers I get to fill out for the government (which I've before for the job that I currently love), the hardest part of my internship is finding housing. Anyone know of a decently cheap apartment in or near East Aurora New York?

Some of the places I was looking at on the net were listed as being near $600, but there's a catch. All the places I ended up talking to on the phone said that there would be an extra $200/month charge for a three month lease. That's do-able but I don't really want to spend 3/4 of my income on rent.

I talked to my supervisor today (the guy who I'll actually be working with, seems he's pretty awesome in the chain of soil cons in NY). He said that he's going to try to help me find a place. So hopefully I'll be able to find an affordable place. I think I've said before how I don't really even care how big it is or even if it's furnished because I really don't care. I just want to be able to afford rent and traveling around NY a little bit. At some point I think I want to go to NYC.

Things I want to take with me:

Guitar
Soils books
Urban Planning Book
Knitting
Journal


Any suggestions? Know anyone in the Buffalo area?
