If you want a really safe area you could look for apartments in Hoover and Vestavia.
I am a student at UAB and live in Southside behind the campus. Most of my student friends live downtown, too, in neighborhoods around Five Points, Glenn Iris, the Highlands, and Forest Park. Crime really varies by street, but the Highlands is a nice area. If you want to live downtown I would just advise driving around the streets on Southside and look for apartment buildings, for rent signs on a street that you like.
