I see a lot of courses at local Universities - UCLA has an extension series of classes for instance and there's like 30 different real estate focused classes.  

Hi @Shaun CaldwellI will admit that I don't have much experience in renting by the room, except for when I had roommates, but i do think that you should find out if there are any city ordinances that would prohibit more than 2 or 3 non-related family members living in the same dwelling or on a lease.Other than that, I think that a student rental may work if there is a college/university near you.Good luck.

At the moment, I'm a year away from graduating with a BA in Economics from Columbia University. 

In the parallel stock market universe, the considerations are similar.

I am currently a Freshman at Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University in Tallahassee Florida.

I am very new to real estate investing and I would like as much advice or resources as possible.I'm planning on investing in a town house within a close proximity to university and schools so that I can get to rent it out easily.

I am currently a college student at the University of North Florida (Jacksonville, FL ).

I just received my acceptance into a masters program at the University of Cincinnati (yayyy!) 

One that has recently gained a lot of notoriety is Trump University.

Find a town with a University, not just a college, that classification is important for some reason I find.
