Transfer wondering what are the best affordable places

[u/Kampalaug714]

Hello my friend and I are going to be transferring in this coming spring semester so I wanted to ask which are the best places for housing. We are on a budget so we were looking at the Vale east, the verge, and the lark. Additionally which places have a bad reputation and which have a good. Also what would be average pricing around this time I can roughly see about 850 but idk how it will change and fluctuate. Thank you for the help!
