This is what I'm doing.
GreenJumbledScorpion
14:21
I have about 16K saved up
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:22
Isn't that plenty of money?
GreenJumbledScorpion
14:22
Isn't rent like 2-3K

@GreenJumbledScorpion: Oh that's fine, you will not have a problem covering first + a deposit
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool

Are you talking about rent in Cambridge or thereabouts?
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:22
I mean, plenty of places are under 2k.

Just plan on having roommates (this is assuming you're comfortable borrowing for anything aid does not cover)
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:22
I've lived in the area for a while, albeit not in the past few years

< $2K per person is very doable with roommates, a bit over $2K is probably doable with a studio
GreenJumbledScorpion
14:24
I am okay with apartment mates. I just prefer my own room and bathroom.
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:24
I guess I'm still not understanding GreenJumbledScorpion. Even if you couldn't find a place for less than 2k, why is that a problem? Is it that the COL loans Harvard would give you wouldn't cover a place for 2k over 9 months?
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:24
Or is it rather that you just want to save as much of the 16k you have as possible?
GreenJumbledScorpion
14:24
Yeah.
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:24
I see.
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:24
Oh wait, which of those? The first or second.
GreenJumbledScorpion
14:25
I am trying to save as much as of the 16k as possible
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:25
I see, I see.

3k is invested and I do not want to pull that out tbh
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:26
Yeah, I'm assuming I'm going to live with roommates. I'm (likely) going to BU, btw, so in a similar area.
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:26
I've done that before and haven't had a problem with it.
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:27
I'd just like to live in a place that is within a 30 minute walking distance to BU Law (and that's the absolute max). I'm also going to bring my bike and probably use that a lot. And the T is totally acceptable.
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:28
Probably closer to 25 max.
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:29
But if you want a private bath, that may make finding a place a bit harder---not much harder but a bit.
BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool
14:29
A private bath is not something I need.

@BankruptcyAndRestructuringLawIsCool: Allston is probably your best best for affordability and proximity
