It's so great to have found this thread. I am going to Austin this fall and would like to have a room that is within walking distance from campus as I would usually be in the lab until very late and would like to walk home after work. I also hope to save more money by walking. Would it be realistic to look for a room for $300-350 in a safe neighborhood if I am going to share it with 1 or 2 roomates? Your advice will be much appreciated.

Hi Saviya,
It's nice to meet someone who is in the same school though in different fields. I would not be buying a car so I am hoping for a place of close distance. My friend suggests me to rent a room instead of the dorm or apartment of the school as doing this would saves quite some money. He mentioned that the rent can get to as low as $385 in Boston and he suggests that Texas may be able to provide a place at such cost too. I do not have much ideas about the living expenses in Texas and Boston, and I really hope you guys could give me some clues.
