I have heard that about 80% of Newark is ghetto. Just make sure to stay in the 20% non-ghetto area.

Hey dude. i also got accepted to Rutgers Newark.
As for the neighborhood its not to bad. theres a tech college across the street from Rutgers and the area its in isnt too bad and they have a lot of security and shit. A friend of mine goes there and he walks home from the bar late at night and its allrite. The city of Newark as a whole is pretty bad though.
do you know anything about transferring to New Brunswick from Newark? If i can transfer after a semester im probaly gonna do that but if not im gonna go elsewhere.

I used to live an hour from Newark, my friends and I would make day-trips in because of the spectacular heroin. They're dope is amazing.

I used to take 3 hour trips just to get the dope in Newark.
Place is gully as fuck.
There's really not many 'safe areas' to put it simple.

i visited a few years back, pretty sure i went to the newark campus. it's not a bad campus, it's like it's own little town. bars and liquor stores and stuff right on campus which is handy. i think it has the highest std rate in the country though, or atleast that's what everyone says. i wouldnt really want to go to school there. it's too big for my tastes. if you're really considering going it's definitely worth visiting before you make a decision.

That's not saying much considering that all college campuses are like that.

i have friend's that live in Newark..
if you are smart, use common sense, and don't get a place to live in the 'hood'.. then you'll be fine.
not ALL of Newark is super-ghetto.. just most of it.
and, you can always live slightly outside of newark and take a bus to school or something...

the only benefit to living in newark is that you're a stones throw away from manhattan. Other then that, NJ SUCKS ASS. I lived across that rotting stinkhole for 18 years, nothing ever good came out of that state. Newark is no exception either, high crime rates, some of the worst cops in the country, and everything else shitty about nj (higher taxes, shitty people, it's nj).
If you have no other choice go for it, but if you have some options id look into them. The best thing to do would be to spend some time there if you can, im sure after a day or two you'll want to escape.

And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten)

Newark is a bad area my friend. In fact most of the area around it is straight up bad, I had my first armed robbery experience there a few weeks ago. I have a few friends that lived there and have the same opinion. The minorities over there dont really have families to feed like the people in the city, they'll do anything for a powdered and angel dusted night out. Always prepare yourself when your going out in the dark, a can of mace could save your life. Not tryin to scare you or anything, but theres alot of crazy people out there with guns and on pcp. They dont give a rats ass about anyone! Make sure your with alot of people when you go out, and dont buy drugs in that area unless your 100% positive your not going to put yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. And coda's got the right idea about the cops, old ladies get beat up and robbed pretty frequently over there, and the only thing the cops do is tell them to be careful next time.

Newark is a shit hole. I have family that lives there. I'd say stay away from it if at all possible.
