I roomed with 3 other hacker schoolers in a 4 bedroom apartment about 20 minutes away from hacker school (by train), and rent was $600 a month. I found the place through craigslist. Once you get accepted you can coordinate with other hacker schoolers and people from previous batches to help you find affordable places to live. Also, there were people from India, South Africa, Netherlands, Sweden and France during my batch. Most of them found housing in a similar way (through craigslist/airbnb or previous hacker school alumni)
