Reasonable Stamford Rent

Starting as an analyst with $100k base. What is a reasonable amount to spend on rent? I plan on living next to the train station so I don't have to get a car and just uber when I want/need to. Any comments on 1 bedroom vs studio? Personally I dont think igaf but then again I have never been in either.
