Hey,
I know finding a place in Boston is not easy. If you are looking for a studio you will have a hard time finding a place under 950/mo. I just signed my lease today. Found a great place one block from campus.
Here are some places that are all walking distance from campus. I found them on Craigs list. This website is probably the best way to find a place in the city. Here is the link:

If you type "South End" into the search engine then you will find a bunch of places close to campus.
