Subletting opportunities!!

So I'm thinking of building a website for students who need to sublet a room for a semester. The website would work kind of like facebook where everyone looking for a room would have a profile and would post about themselves e.g. what they're looking for in an apartment as far as price/roommates/living preferences. People who need to fill a room would make a different type of listing saying what they have available and what their accommodations/living preferences are. Making a profile to view listings on the website would be free but posting an available room would cost money. The website would ONLY be available for USC students, the idea being that it is a lot more safe and personable than using craigslist or another site like that.

Please give me feedback and let me know 1. if you would use this service, and 2. if and how much would you pay to use it if you needed to fill a room.

I'm only going to go through with this if I get positive feedback from people like you who would be most likely to use it. Please tell me what you think! Negative feedback is appreciated as well.

Thanks,
Paul
