Safest bet is if you're south of the river it'll be decent.

I cant afford to live south of the river, but I found a decent little place right by Commonwealth. The LRT service in Edmonton is decent, so anywhere along the LRT line is at most 15minute right from the University. Perhaps try Clareview area for a decent place close to the LRT?
Interesting that you won't live near Grant Macewan (104 avenue area is actually really nice) yet you live near Commonwealth Stadium, which is extremely sketchy by comparison.

I live in the NE. Say what you will, but it's really not that bad. You can find a lot of affordable places up in this area, and you're close to the LRT which makes getting to the UofA pretty easy.

If you find a place you like, feel free to PM me and I'll give you my honest thoughts. Good luck.
