I grew up in Evanston. Wonderful place to be...and I disagree--definitely NOT supported by Northwestern. In fact, Northwestern and the city don't get along...mostly because Northwestern pays them no taxes on all of the property they own, and they keep trying to buy up property!
Anyway...Evanston is pricey, and I don't know what kind of job you have...but there are some nice apartments near the university/downtown area that are semi-reasonable because young professionals and students tend to rent them. With the condo boom there are also lots of people who have bought condos as a money maker who rent them. I would look at places around Chicago Avenue and Clark Street; also on Hinman as well.
Also don't know if you're looking for a roommate or not, but that might be a way of getting a larger place at a more affordable price; I'm sure Northwestern has a listing where grad students tend to look for places...maybe even call one of their graduate schools (although not law or medicine; they're in Chicago) and see if they have apartment listings.
