Hi Everyone! I will be moving to Boston soon and I am looking to identify apartments for rent and roommates. How should I approach this?

Hate to break it to you but you’re in for a treat with the boston rental scene. Full disclosure this is my experience (been full time 3 years and went to college here too) but single beds are hard to find and you will 100% need a broker or agent (you will usually end up paying this fee anyways if you use one or not because it is highly centralized/monopolized). If you are looking for roommates randomly I would say facebook groups is the best bet. A huge majority of leases start Sept 1 so there might be people looking for roommates there.
