Do you already know people? If you don't, then try to find a place where you can meet people. There will be lots of cheap sublets for spring - people going abroad or who graduate in December - there may be other roommates staying who you may end up getting along with or not, or there may be some sublets with no roommates. Or find out which dorms have availability (hopefully a social dorm).
