Nikhar Ahmed -- Help, I need an apartment in the CO!

Hey all, I am excited to announce that I have graduated (as of May 11, 2008) from Denison University and am embarking on a new life! I plan to find a job soon, hopefully in Columbus; thing is, this means that I will need to relocate from my home in Chicago (by way of Skokie) to Columbus, OH. My plan is to actually move to the CO in late August, no later than mid-September, and that means I need two things: an afforable apartment, and a roommate. I think I may have a good hold on the latter -- a friend of mine from college is potentially interested in rooming with me if she is able to find a job in the CO. When it comes to apartment hunting, though, I'm a bit clueless. Anyone have any suggestions/advice?
