I moved here for grad school from Palo Alto expecting the rent to be even a tad bit lower, but boy was I mistaken. For $1200/month I’d rule out the possibility of finding a solo living situation. Besides — the relocation expenses could be exorbitant as the rental market is extremely disadvantageous towards renters. Feel free to DM if you need more advice as to how to start apartment-shopping.
