Rent will likely be your largest monthly expense so the cheapest you can go the better. My rent is ~10% of my salary living solo. If you can make roommates work you may be able to do even better.

Depends on where you live and what you can tolerate. My rule always was housing cost should be less than 1/3 of your net pay.

I paid $1220 on that salary (it was half of a 1br, SO paid other half)
