Well thats a bummer. Where did you move out here from? I am renting a nice new one bedroom apartment in Henderson for $830. I know there are some places in Henderson and Boulder that are going for $650-750.
I'm not sure about crashpads.. but if I remember right there was a phone number that they gave us on one of the letters in the mail welcoming you to class. I've also heard that rooms run $400-500 around the Henderson area. Good luck!
