College town live in landlord market

I am looking to purchase my first house, and will be renting out the extra rooms. Is there anyone that has owned and rented college homes to students, that could pass along some advice for this market? Or perhaps any homeowner that has lived with tenants in general.

How did you find renters willing to live with their landlord?

How did you determine your radius within the city, that college students were willing to rent in? (the farther away from campus you get the lower the home prices are)

How did you choose the college town that was best for you (excluding those who bought the house for their kids while they were attending school)
