I will be attending Rutgers (New Brunswick/Piscataway campus) this fall.?

Question

Where is the safest and closest place to live off-campus? I appreciate all your inputs.

Answer 1

There's plenty of places in the area. The Easton Ave. area is very popular. Somerset and Hamilton Streets are also good, as well as any of the cross streets. Students also live in East Brunswick, Highland Park, Somerset, Edison, and Piscataway - you'll have to drive or use public transportation, but these are all safe towns.

Apartments in New Brunswick can be pricey, and most are going to have 2 or 3 (or more) bedrooms, so expect to look for roommates. There are studios around, but you'll have to look a little more.

Here's the link for the Rutgers Off-Campus Housing website. Students looking for housemates and landlords post ads here. It's a good resource.
