Well done! The site looks great. I've actually been thinking about a similar product in a totally different space. If you could spare a couple minutes to answer, I have a couple questions that are probably really basic but I've been struggling with:
1. I see that you have a "LIST YOUR PROPERTY" feature, but how did you seed your DB? Just search CL, call the owner and ask if they're open to renting to college students?
2. How did you settle on making your own advertising platform your main revenue stream? When you have a niche market like this, is Adwords (or similar) not a viable alternative? Have you thought about charging the listing agent directly?
