Last yr my S paid 665 for his share of a 3 BR. This year his new apt. is 700 per student and there are three again. Both in Allston, right off campus, but this year they found a much nicer building. I’d say these are typical rents. Because he did not stay in Boston over the summer, the extra three months rent meant that it was actually a little more than the dorm. Some kids sublet for the summer or stay and do an internship which makes it more cost efficient.You can go on Craigs List-Boston or campuscribs.com and see pix of apartments with prices to get ideas, although the cheap student apartment ads don’t go up until April-Aug.so whats on there now are not the student type apartments.
