Anything south of the reservoir will suck for commuting to school. Lakeview you are driving to UCalgary (transit sucks) and possibly to MRU as well. NW is easy transit to UCalgary and a relatively easy drive to MRU if the kids go that route.
If you are in the deep south you may as well send them to university in a different city (seriously) or rent them a place in the NW as travel will kill too much of their day.

That seems rather extreme, but I suppose your perception of a long commute is different than mine as we have been living with a 30km+ (one way) for work for a long long time. A 15-25 minute drive (weather/traffic dependent) for my son to drive school seems like a pretty reasonable trip to me and wouldn't require us to rent a NW apt for him, lol.
