Ruston

I question myself daily as to why I chose to come to LA Tech U in little old Ruston. It is nearly impossible to find a job around here and it is impossible to find a reasonably priced apartment or house to rent during the schoolyear. Collegetown is an understatement. This is college-hell for the nontraditional student. I am looking for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home (apartment or house) that is in good shape for no more than $450 per month. Is that so much to ask for? Apparently so, since I have not had any luck finding it.
