The Far West area could work for you. It has a lot of students, a shuttle, stores within walking distance; fairly quiet, very clean and a few gated places.

E. Riverside/Oltorf is probably the cheapest place to live, and it's clear why. I would only suggest the area as a last resort...it too has a shuttle and stores within walking distance (sorta).

3rd option could be the Metric Blvd/Gracy Farms area. I lived there a few years back and it was nice/big, gated, and cheap...but sorta removed from bus (no shuttle, you need to take city buses to get around and they kinda suck efficiency-wise) and grocery stores/pharmacies.
