Average rent for single apartment in Boston area?

I will be applying to Boston university, and do not want to stay in a dorm (i am out-of-state) I would rather get a job and rent a single apartment, does anyone know the average rent for one of these apartments in the college area? Also, what does the apartment include?

I'm not sure but I suggest you try the dorm out. It's closer to school (obviously), and you can hang out with some college students. I would do that.

Yay. I have no idea what the prices for the rent are and I still got the best answer ;) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20070724072749AA6GOj4&kid=LZBHMlPaKUzDTXo1ChBB&s=comm&date=2007-07-26+07%3A31%3A15&.crumb=

Try Rent.com They have info and prices on almost all of the apartments in the area and house rentals. You can even look for a roomate on there.

When Saddam Hussein was found in a 200 SF hole in the ground there were 10000 emails from Boston wanting to know if the place was still available ;-)

Boston in one of the most expensive cities in the country. Considering that a parking space can sell for more than $100K, prepare to be astounded. I'd budget $1000 a month just to keep the rain off my head. Good luck.
