How bad an idea is it to live in the Downtown Eastside? I applied to SFU and would like to live in Vancouver if I get in/decide to go but also want a reasonable commute to school and reasonable rent. What about Strathcona? Are Grandview-Woodland and Hastings-Sunrise reasonable places for a student who likes cities to live? Are there any areas with relatively cheap rent I should look at if I decide to move there? I'd prefer not to live in Burnaby or another suburb.

Last year it was early to mid April for the MA awards I believe. I just got the e-mail telling me that my application was forwarded this week.
