Just to be on the safe side, before you plunk your money down or sign a contract you should probably meet the person you are going to be sharing living space with, regardless of what the landlord tells you. What would you do back home if faced with the same situation?

decisions decisions..... saw the place by the university and its awesome and cheap (1800) with all utils right by the station and the girl id be sharing with is really really cool , ended up staying all evening chatting with her. but its so far away..... i think im going to do it anyway, theres no minimum contract so i can just leave after a few months if its too much

Sounds like a good deal...you should be able to move around easily from that area, especially from Copilco or CU either via metro or the numerous buses that hub from those two spots. You're not far from the metrobus as well, to move up and down Insurgentes, and there will soon be a new metrobus line running east-west to get on as well.
