<prompt> Human: Hey guys. So... Im not actually a grad student, but Im receiving almost exactly a grad student stipend.I make 2700 a month, which will be 2,300 after taxes I used the right marginal tax brackets.If I pay 1500mo for rentutilities, I will have 800mo 200week for groceries, savings, and other expenses.Is that unreasonable?  <response>: You need to be looking for rent around 700 or 750 to really set yourself up for other spending and saving. That means shared housing in the Boston metro area contiguous to the city. I think Craigslist sharedrooms subcategory is your friend here. Set 800 as your max and search for places that show pics. As a search term you could use town or neighborhood word to narrow your focus.Ideally you want 2 or 3 roommates, near bus or subway. Source: Rented in Watertown for many years.
