If you admit they are not good with upkeep, why waste your time renting to them?

I guess you didn't read my whole post?
I said...while college kids are not generally good with upkeep...but..these kids were raised properly and I have no issue with them.
AND..while on the topic...their parents live up to the responsibility to me and I NEVER have an issue with getting all repairs (etc) paid for promptly.
To answer your question directly...I rent to them because it is very profitable. (that is the only reason to rent to anyone, actually).

Fair enough, though my tenants are not college students but young professionals in their 20s/30s. Also since I have few rentals, I can be very choosey. I assume you have many so do not have time to be picky.

Of course I am picky.
I require that I meet with every student AND their parents.
I arrange to be in town during 'parents week' on campus, this is when some of them get notices that they will not be in the dorms...then the parents and students begin the off-campus search. I only deal with those that register with the off-campus housing office at the university.
Everyone has to have credit check/background/criminal checks. parents, students, everyone. When the parents are paying $60k+ for tuition...they are not going to have their little darling on the street because missed rent.
Of course I can afford to be picky...the population of freshmen coming in far out-strips the number of dorms.
