south denver, 5 points, west denver, park hill, are going to be your best bets as far as cheap living goes. you could get lucky and find a 500-600/month apartment in capitol hill but it will be a tiny studio apt.

I25/Colorado or University Blvd area is nice, it's right around campus, and only 10 minutes from downtown. plenty of 4 person houses for 2 G's or less, so 400-500 a person.

Don't go to 5 points unless you want to get stabbed.

Pretty much what everyone has said is accurate!

I live in LoDo, and yeah its expensive, but its a great area to do shit and have fun. Obviosly your best bet is getting roommates, but if you hunt around im sure you can find a place that works by yourself. Best of luck homie! Denvers awesome!
