Well, first take a look at your bills, or what they would be on your own. Stuff like rent, electricity (some apt.'s include it in the rent), phone, ISP, TV, and so on and so on. Add maybe 30-50$/week for food, depending on how you eat. Whatever's left goes into the bank or entertainment.
If you can find someone you get along well with and is trustworthy, rent a 2 bedroom with them, you'll save quite a bit of money, but if you don't get along well with them, it'll be hell.
Quick rule of thumb : Don't spend any more than 1/2 of what you earn in a month on rent.
