hopeful grad Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Any insight? I'm going to NYU in the Fall and looking for something near the path train. Is this area safe? Are there bars/coffee shops/etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencio1982 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hey, Jersey City is alright but I would recommend Hoboken. I grew up in NY and a lot of friends around my age (25) are now living in Hoboken, from what I can tell its relatively affordable for the area and there's a lot to do and a lot of young people- lots of bars and coffee shops, etc. My sister is actually thinking of moving there too. Jersey City, while close by, is mostly people commuting in for work, and is a crappier area in my opinion... however, I haven't been to Jersey City in at least 4 years so things may have changed. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencio1982 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Oh- also wanted to suggest if you are going to NYU look into living in Bay Ridge in Brooklyn. I love it there and you can find some really affordable apartments. You can take the R train right to 8th st/NYU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
