I like the idea of investing early, but being a landlord is tough. Renting to college students makes it even more difficult. I would recommend another approach. Rent. Get to know the new environment you are going to be in, get a job, and -- if you have savings to invest -- start off with a good no-load mutual fund account, perhaps even an IRA.
This kind of activity will build your savings, build your credit score, and give you some time to more accurately assess the lay of the land before junmping into the real estate market as a landlord.
Good luck.
