| Weather | | How much crime? | | What are the neighborhoods like? | | What are the people like? |
| The weather in Newark is rather typical of every other Mid-Atlantic State. The summers are long and hot, with occasional severe weather such as hurricanes. The winters are wet and cold with the chance of a nor'easter dumping several feet of snow on the ground at once. While we do not experience a great deal of extreme weather, there is the possibility that we will have flooding in the low-lying areas of the exterior of the city. | | There is a lot of crime in Newark. While drugs dealing and drug using are among the most popular crimes in this area, there are also a great deal of violent crimes such as armed robbery, car jackings, as well as assault. There is also a lot of theft that is both related to drugs in the city as well as theft for the sake of selling the goods at a later time. All together, this is not a safe city by any stretch of the imagination. | | The only good part of the town is close to the Turnpike, where the majority of the police patrols are near for the sake of proximity to the airport or Rutgers. The houses in this part of the city are still not that nice, with many older brick homes that have stood for the better part of a century. However, near the university are some of the nicest areas. There is a great deal of diversity in this part of the city when it comes to race, with the majority being white. In the inner city sections you will find even older homes that are next to abandoned properties and empty lots. The majority of people that live in this section are black and Hispanic, with a small white minority. | | The people in this city are generally young, blue collar, moderately educated, and predominantly black. Typically, anyone that is looking to cause trouble or commit crimes is not welcomed into the community, but they still manage to find their customers in the city. It is not unusual for there to be ire between the races, as the racial makeup of the city continues to change. There are certain neighborhoods that are predominantly one race that the others generally would not be welcomed into. |
| Downtown Area | | Restaurants | | Schools | | Single life |
| The downtown shopping area is filled with interesting shops and a lot of different merchandise. | | Fomo's of Spain is one of the best as well as Adega Grill. | | The public schools in this town are absolutely awful. There is a lack of discipline in both the students and the teachers. | | There are some bars to meet at as well as the university for picking up singles. |
| Noise | | town comparison vs. | | Best hospital | | Tourist attractions |
| There is a lot of noise from traffic and the nearby airport that sends flights out all the time. Also the jake brakes from trucks will keep you up if you live in the wrong area. | | One of the neighboring towns of Newark is called Jersey City. While this town does have quite a bit of crime, it also has the benefit of being directly across the river from lower Manhattan. The shopping is much better and it is safer, meaning that Jersey City is a better place to live than Newark. Another neighboring town is called Elizabeth. This town is filled with many young professionals that work in New York. While the cost of living is high it is also a safe place to live, making it a more reasonable place to live than Newark. | | The local hospital is called UMDNJ University Hospital. It is one of the best hospitals in all of North Jersey. | | The best places to visit are the restaurants and the University Campus. |
| General comments | | | | | | |
| The downtown area by the police station and the Rutgers campus feels like any other urban environment. Sure there is some garbage and other areas of the center of the city that are a little less than nice, but the outlying areas are downright scary. There is a crumbling infrastructure and many people that would like to do nothing more than steal your car or wallet. This is a prime area to get your car or any other possessions stolen. Overall, Newark feels like a dangerous urban area. | | | | | | |
