University Heights refers to a rent subsidized apt complex that I wouldn't recommend to anyone unless they have no other options.
I think you mean College Hill but that is expensive. The two most expensive areas of the East Side of Providence are College Hill and Blackstone which does run near the upper end of Rochambeau.
The cheaper areas are Mt Hope including near Miriam Hospital going down to Pawtucket, parts of Fox Point, upper Hope St near the High School. A lot of students in these areas as well.
Most of the affordable middle class living is in the surrounding towns (suburbs really) including Warwick, Cranston, East Providence. These also have lots of apartment complexes.
Check the Providence Plan website for info on Providence neighborhoods.
