Will she be living in residence on campus, or have you located off-campus housing? There are some neighbourhoods near the university I would recommend, and others I'd likely suggest staying away from... but if she will be living in residence, that's obviously not a concern.

SHH and Marty are right all around. I come from Nova Scotia in 2007 and did two years in res, and then moved off campus. The ONLY areas I really ever had any need to visit were the University, the Avalon Mall (about a twenty minute walk from the University straight down Prince Philip Drive), Downtown (about a forty minute walk, or a $14 cab ride) and Churchill Square / Elizabeth Ave area. There is very little need for a University student to venture into other, primarily residential areas of the city. If she can familiarize herself with the areas I listed, she should be capable of surviving. Further exploration would strictly be to see the diversity of the City.
