This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

There was a student stabbed INSIDE the Rutgers Newark library, which is literally 5 minutes away from NJMS and I'm sure Rutgers has a solid security measures. Safety is really something to consider seriously especially if you're going to be living in Newark because random crime is something you will have to deal with. In hindsight, I did not have an accurate picture of Newark when I chose to attend NJMS over other schools. I just want you guys to have an accurate full picture when choosing the right school to attend. This way, if you choose NJMS, it's because you really wanted to be here and were aware of the realities, not because you were disillusioned about Newark. That is better for both the school and for you.

Congrats to all that who were accepted. I hope you guys still choose NJMS, but if you were accepted by NJMS, I am confident you guys will be great doctors anywhere. All in all, pick a school that you feel most comfortable with.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.

Errrr... ever since this happened the school asked all the students to show their ID upon entering the library since the attacker was claimed not a Rutgers student. I don't know how much this would help... this area is ridiculously unsafe. People get attacked 1 block away from the main campus and that's where their garage #2 at.
