Following I've listed other apartment buildings that you may want to research/consider. I do not know about the interior condition of these apartments; you will have to inspect them and decide for yourself. You could buy new inexpensive minimum furniture at stores on Erie Blvd. East in case you don't want to use furniture that comes with a furnished apartment.
Much of Westcott Street and Euclid Avenue can be nice streets to rent/live in an apartment. You can search those areas too.
I think you can live on your own/alone as long as you take all precautions that any young lady should and probably especially after night darkness. It's always good to find a college friend who you trust/like and go places with them--safety in numbers.

Hi, I have another question. Or rather, questions.
Found a house with rooms available in the "Wescott" neighborhood, on Cambridge Street. AZS Properties? Ring a bell?
Also wondering if anyone knows anything about University Village - that rather pricey posh complex that I guess is mostly undergrads down by South Campus.

First thing I'd do is call up Syracuse University's office of off campus/commuter services. Syracuse University - Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services They keep a list of student praise and complaints for various landlords, and it'd be good to see if they've heard anything.
University Village is a brand new complex that's supposed to be pretty nice, with a price tag to match.
There are also apartments next to the Adams Street garage too. Can't remember the name of them though.
At Adams and South Crouse, next to the Chase bank? I forget the name (University something), but people seem to really like living there, despite the fact that it is one of the ugliest buildings on the Planet Earth, one one of the ugliest blocks, too.
Cambridge is a nice street near Westcott; it has a good mix of graduate student rentals and owner-occupied single family homes. No idea about AZS Properties, though. Could be a responsible owner, but could just as easily be an absentee landlord. That street, however, doesn't have any of the student slum houses that many other blocks do.
University Village Colvin is new and pricey (if not aesthetically pleasing). Not the worst location ever (especially if you're transit-reliant - free busses run to main campus with 10 or 15 minutes headways): 5 minute walk to a grocery store and a pizza place, 5 or 10 minute uphill walk to a student center, gym, and bar.
Highland Avenue is in outer Sedgwick and runs parallel to James Street. The bulk of the housing stock is maintained, however many of the properties in the 100 and 200 blocks were converted into two and three family homes while others now have commercial uses. The section of Highland Avenue between Oak Street and DeWitt Street is generally more desirable as many of the homes are still single family, owner occupied and closer to the heart of Sedgwick. Technically, the 200 and 300 blocks are considered part of the Sedgwick Historic District, however the 300 block of Highland Avenue more closely resembles the architecture and housing stock of Sedgwick. Generally, homes range from 2,500 to 5,000 SF.
If you like architecture and want to live in an urban neighborhood with close proximity to downtown, Highland Avenue is an attractive option.

I agree with RollRoyce. It's kind of a hidden neighborhood with nice architecture. I've driven through during the day and night, and it's not that bad at all. You are close to Schiller Park, which is a few blocks down Oak St.
