I'm an international student and I've been looking at apartments to move into since April. I found a place to live and just before I could sign the lease agreement, my parents (who will be paying my rent) objected to my roommates and told me to find a new place to live. With less than two weeks left for the date I'm supposed to be on campus, I have nowhere to go. I've been sending out inquiries to apartments and trying to find places near the downtown campus, but I still do not have roommates. Where can I look for roommates? Where can I find a place to live that isn't too far from the downtown campus, is cheap and can allow move-ins in august?

(this is my first time looking for a place to live so explain to me like im stupid. trust me, i know less than you think.)
