Squirrel Hill is pretty much the safest neighborhood near CMU. Most of the apartments in our building and in the neighborhood are occupied by graduate students. The apartment and the neighbors are always quiet. There are lots of cheap restaurants/buffets, grocery stores, barbers etc. on Murray Ave which is just 5 mins away on foot.
