I know this answer varies for person to person, but it's hard to guess without knowing the temperature factor.

If I'm browsing possible apartments and want to commute by bike without showing up gross, where are my (approximate) bounds?

Well, in the really hot times, depending on what sort of shape you are in, I would want to stay within a two mile radius, preferably less, in every direction.

It varies from person to person. For me 2 blocks! I'm a skinny guy but I get overheated very easily! The upside of that is I more easily burn out toxins through sweat.

Also take into consideration what kind of extras you will be carrying with you. The extra weight of your books might really get you sweating. I bike about 4 miles to the gym and even in the cooler months my back get sweaty because of my camelbak.

Forgot to add that you might want to bring a fresh t-shirt to change into.

Impossible. During the hot months, just walking across campus to class will have most people sweating. The good news is that you're not alone in your misery. The bad news is that you end up sitting in a room with anywhere from 20 to 400 other sweaty people.
