In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Since availability changes so rapidly, you'll want to have a concrete date in mind for when you intend to move. Planning ahead will give you ample time to start looking seriously. Keep in mind that more units tend to open up at the beginning and end of each month as tenants move out.  Give yourself at least four or six weeks to view multiple listings and get your finances in order. It never hurts to have a backup plan in case you're unable to find a place to live by your projected timeframe. Sit down and calculate how much you'd be willing and able to spend for your new lodgings. With an estimated budget in place, you'll be able to narrow down your options to include only the listings that you can realistically afford. For the sake of financial security, try not to spend more than about 30 percent of your total income on rent.  Don't forget to factor in other expenses that you'll be shelling out for, like utilities, food, transportation and other basic necessities. Most landlords will only accept renters who make more than 40 times the cost of rent annually. Before you're handed the keys, you'll be asked to supply a valid photo ID, recent bank statements, and a check for at least the first month's rent, along with a security deposit. Get these items together at a moment's notice in order to beat out the competition. Don't wait until you've agreed on an offer to start printing off copies.  In addition to the usual documents, you might be asked to provide things like recent pay stubs, tax returns, your criminal record or even a letter of referral from an employer or previous landlord.  One smart strategy is to scan the paperwork you need and email it to yourself. When the time comes, all you'll have to do is forward the attachments to the leasing agent. Be ready to make a move as soon as you decide that a place meets your criteria. When it comes to locking down a good living space in New York, time is not on your side—too often renters will sleep on their decision, only to find that someone else has come along and signed a lease in a matter of hours. If possible, set up a walkthrough or interview for the same day. This will show that you're serious about the property and minimize the chances of someone else snatching it out from under you.
Summary: Set a move-in date. Come up with a budget. Have the necessary paperwork in order. Act fast.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . In some states, colleges and universities make courses available to students who are still in high school. This is called “concurrent enrollment” or “dual enrollment.” Talk to your high school guidance counselor about how to sign up for a dual or concurrent enrollment program. Do an online search to find out about dual enrollment programs near you. Some dual enrollment programs require you to travel to a college campus, while others allow you to take college courses online. In some cases, university faculty may offer college-level classes at your high school or a local career center. You can get through college more quickly if you take advantage of courses offered during the summer term. The summer is a great time to get 1 or 2 required courses out of the way so that you don’t have to worry about them during the regular school year.  If you’re going to a school that charges high tuition rates for summer classes, find out if they will accept credits from courses offered at your local community college. Talk to your academic adviser before signing up for classes at another institution.  Summer classes tend to be condensed into a shorter period of time than regular term courses, so be prepared for a more fast-paced, intense learning experience. If you are currently working, but plan to start college soon, you can get some requirements out of the way by taking courses designed to fit flexible schedules. Take some evening or weekend classes at your local community college, or sign up for self-paced online classes. This way, you can have some credits out of the way before you jump into a degree program. Taking a few classes part-time can also help you feel better prepared for the pressure of going back to school full-time. Most colleges or universities allow their students to sign up for a maximum number of credit hours per term. However, it is often possible to get permission to take more than the maximum course load. This is one way to get your requirements out of the way faster. If you are considering signing up for extra courses on top of your regular course load, discuss this idea with your academic adviser. Take care not to take on more coursework than you can handle. Taking too many courses at once can ultimately leave you feeling burnt out, and make it harder for you to complete your degree on time.

SUMMARY:
Attend college classes while you’re in high school Sign up for summer classes while you are in college. Take classes while you’re working. Talk to your adviser about taking a course overload.
