When I started a summer project, I used facebook advertising and campus flyers to find potential partners.

I ended getting ~15 hackers interested in working on the project over the summer, interviewed 10, and picked two.

We all worked an lived together in the same apartment. It was probably the best summer of my life, and cost us about $2,000 / person. Most of that was for food & rent.

That's a neat approach in that it's something that can be repeated - of course the exact response may vary depending on the nature of your uni.
