The only area of the city that you'd still need to avoid is St. Theresa's Court on Mundy Pond. That's the only rough neighbourhood left that immigration/gentrification hasn't cleaned up enough to be safe.
It's better to be east of the university than west of it because that puts you closer to downtown and your life can't be all about school, assuming that's why you're coming.
If you want, you can arrange a viewing of the place you like for anytime after 6 p.m. on a weekday and I can go and check it out for you.

I got a place on old pennywell up behind the avalon. I actually like the location alot(lived nearby before), and its right on top of the route 1, which is one of the very few bus routes in the city that goes to my school and actually funcions for the most part on time.
My second choice was living downtown, however I kinda don't like it when I'm going to school.
I like going downtown for the day, coffee shops followed by bars, or coffee shops followed by gym. I find living too close to downtown kinda ruins the magic.
For the record crime isn't something that really phases me, atleast not east of winnipeg. I'll live just about anywhere as long as there is running water. Aside from my attachment to showering, I actually detest most first world living conditions as just too cushy. Which ironically is why i dislike car-based neighborhoods comfort without function.
