Hi,
Let me say first that cities in Spain are generally very safe! As people stay up late, and there are so many bars, the streets are rarely deserted and I walked everywhere in the cental zones, even in the early hours. I know Granada well and have friends who rent out rooms to students in an area very popular, especially with American students, this is Realejo. However all areas should be OK excepting only the Albaicín which does have a problem with mugging (narrow dark streets and very touristy,Calle Elvira which is good for a night out with pals be probably not best to live on due to drug addicts etc and an area on the outskirts of the city called the Polígono. Personally I think you'd like best the area around the Law Faculty(Plaza de La Universidad)as it's historic, studenty(Spanish) and close to great bars, clubs and the shopping district.The university should be able to help you with your search and they will only recommend central areas where there are lots of other students. I hope you have a great year, I'm very jealous!
