When’s the best time to look for a room for rent in Brooklyn?

I’m moving to Brooklyn next year, and I’ll be looking for a room for rent, mostly because it’s cheaper, I’ve never lived alone, and I’ve never lived in New York. I was thinking I’d move some time during the summer, because I graduate in May.
I’ve read that moving during the summer could be troublesome, but that was for apartment-hunting, and like I said, I’m room-hunting. I’m betting there isn’t much of a difference, but I wanted to make sure.
Thanks, in advance.
If you’re going to move in May, I would start looking now. Brooklyn is big and has great parts, while it has parts that should be avoided. I will recommend some neighborhoods for you that are safe:
Bensonhurst
Brooklyn Heights
Greenpoint
Those areas are extremely safe. Downtown Brooklyn has been built up and for the most part it’s a decent neighborhood.
I would check Century 21 Real Estate to see some homes or apartments that are up for rent.
Good Luck
ASAP so you can weed out the good from the bad and scams.
People in leases may be moving at the end so it gives you a
chance to get to know the place before its available in the Summer.
