Your best bet for finding an apartment would be to check bulletin board around the university. You'll find that lots of students post adverts looking for flatmates, etc.
Also bear in mind that public transport in Berlin is pretty good, so you shouldn't have too much of an issue not living close by to the university. Two neighbourhoods in Berlin that are popular with students are Friendrichsaid-Kreuzber and Neukolin.
To find more tips on finding a home in Berlin check out the Accommodation in Berlin page.
Good luck. Hope you find a place soon.
