The way it usually works is by room, meaning bedroom. You divide up an apartment by the number of people and number of bedrooms - with some weird stuff if people share a room, etc. The most common area for renting is Allston, which comes up to West Campus along Comm Ave. Rents are high, so there’s no great savings living off campus (especially when you factor in cable, internet, etc.). My guess is you’d be hard pressed to find rent lower than $500 per bedroom and that might be a pit.
