This came in the email bag this morning. Let's help out.

Dear Sirs,

I am Andrea **** and I am coming to Detroit within March 7th as a Short-term Visting cholar at Wayne State University.

I would need, quite urgently, to find an accomodation, and I wanted to know some agency which I can contact.

That because the Wayne State University Housing Office is too expensive [[they offere me one bedroom unit at 1100 dollars) and I would like to look for something cheaper.

Thanks,

Andrea *****
I have replied as follows and will post replies.

Welcome to Detroit Andrea. Tell me more about your needs. I am going to guess you will need a furnished [bed, desk and chair, refrigerator and stove at a minimum] space and probably walkable to Wayne State. Would you consider being a housemate -- sharing a house or apartment with one or more people? Sharing is generally that least expensive but you will may need to provide your own bed.
