$850/month for a one-bedroom is actually a pretty good deal for Boston (or, apparently, Hawaii). When I was a grad student, my husband and I shared a one-bedroom on-campus apartment (read: a glorified closet) for which we paid something like $700/month, and that was after the school's subsidy. Off-campus you could easily pay $1000+. And that was a few years back.

Anyway, I have a relative who moved back in with his parents "for a few months" following a messy divorce... he's still there 30 years later. (!) He makes substantial contributions toward the rent, though, and looked after his mother until she went into a nursing home a little while back.
