I imagine finding new housing at semester won't be too terrible. A lot of people looking for subleases for the next semester this time of year from what i remember, can negotiate deals with people who may be happy just to not have to pay the full rent of a place they arent using.
Yeah, back in '07/08 I tried to sublet my room in an apartment 2 blocks from campus, for less than full price. I had a taker who was going to move in right away but never did and I ate the cost of two apartments for a semester while I was away on an internship.
