Check this out:
[How to Search for Off-Campus Housing](http://students.ucsd.edu/campus-services/housing/offcampus/search.html)

On that webpage you can find a list of the apartments around the campus, along with estimated distances and price range.

And FYI regarding loans, one of my friends who is currently a graduate student in UCSD (she’s a pre-med btw, majored in Biology for the undergraduate degree in UCSD) has about $20,000 debt to pay off now. She has recieved a few financial support from her middle-income parents as well as adequate financial aid every year throughout her undergraduate years. However, she still had to use some loans even during those 4 years, but not the whole $20,000. Note that graduate students usually get less financial aid and pay more tuition. She’s just one example I know.

I am planning to use some loans too. I mean I have to. Otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to pay the rental for the third month of the first quarter with my savings while living in a room for $500-600 a month.
