I assume you’re either going to NJIT or Rutgers Newark. Both have a very diverse population of students including a lot of Indian (Indian and Indian -American students). Both campuses are basically next to each other. Newark has some sketchy areas, but that area and downtown are safe. There are security guards everywhere, Prudential, which is one of the largest insurance companies in the world, is headquartered in Newark. You are also very close to NYC, regular train (NJ Transit or PATH train) right into Manhattan. You can’t beat the location in that regard.
