I've been checking out a few places for my son. I like this place and the all in one concept, room mate matching etc. The area is a little rough looking.
Can anyone help with this choice? Any recs?

You sound like a good parent, which means you want your son to have multiple sexual encounters. Two words: Gaslite IV

University Edge is in the ghetto. The place hasn't even gotten to 50% capacity since it was built. It's shite.

Woodlands and Cottages are basically the same. Pretty nice places with bad arse club houses and tons of party. Pretty easy to meet friends or have something to do there (even though woodlands is starting to get a little more cloudy, aka hoodlands).

Lake Beau Pre is the best bet if he has friends and want to rent a house/condo. You get alittle clubhouse with a pool and tennis courts and a gated community if you do the townhomes. Also, super easy to get to campus and don't deal with traffic bc on river road.

Those 3 are the most popular places for students to live. There are other good options but those are definitely the best

My daughter is starting her second year there. Other than a guy jumping out a 3rd story window...no problems! I feel like it is as safe as anywhere.

It is definitely rough. I know nothing about those apartments, so I Googled their location. I'll drive through that area during the day, but I would be much more hesitant to do so at night.

If you must go with north of campus, I'd stick to the apartment complexes near State St/Highland Rd.

Hilarious they renamed it "the edge" even though it's the same old joint.

The "edge" of what? sanity?

I forgot what it was originally called
