You also want to make sure you get as good a sense as possible of the character of the specific neighborhoods you are considering in Brooklyn (i.e., make sure you'd feel comfortable walking around late at night alone, etc.) Those who know Brooklyn better than I can speak to this, but at least be aware. Generally speaking, that won't be a concern for most of the places you find in Manhattan. As long as you're happy to share, I'd check out craigslist "rooms/shared" and in the search field type stuff like "grad student" or "law student." You'll find that a lot of people are grad students that want other students as roommates, etc.
Edit: You could look for stuff like this: --LinkRemoved--
Of course, the problem w/this approach is that you have to be willing to secure your housing within, say, the two months before you start school, but since a lot of students are looking for roommates to start at the beginning of the semester, might not be a big deal.
