UofSC Apartment Recommendations for Grad Student; Location, Safety, Parking, etc

Hi there! My daughter will be moving from Texas to UofSC during the summer to attend Grad School in the fall. We have looked at so many apartments online but since we are unfamiliar with Columbia, we would like recommendations from anyone that has experience with apartments in the area.
~What apartments are recommended for grad students, in a safe location?
~We’ve seen a lot about parking issues at apartments and school, if someone could explain that.
~Anything else that could be helpful or important to someone new to the area is welcomed.
Thank you!
