It’s right near Rutgers Camden. The area surrounding Rutgers Camden is so dangerous the cops told us we were on our own 😂

No, it's not. Rutgers Camden is in the cooper grant neighborhood and this is in Gateway. They're separated by a highway. The area around Rutgers is very safe, there are 3 different police departments, you must have talked to one of the County cops or just made that up.

Lol that’s exactly what I hear as well… Rutgers PD, Camden PD, and some federal since the courthouse is nearby. Area around Rutgers is safe especially because of everything else that is down there.

Ahhh I believe last time I was on campus the office was in the waterfront but I could be mistaken. Either way the Dunkin, Mancinis and the Chinese spot maybe 6 blocks from my old house were sketchier than anywhere I’ve been in Philly 😂. Fall 2012 the Rutgers police officers told a room of 100 of us “ if you go over there we aren’t coming from you”

I think we just vary on the definition of "surroundings" Rutgers. I was talking about Cooper Grant and the waterfront. Yeah a bit further away is really sketchy. I was in law school there around the same time as you.

They fired their police force in 2013 essentially. So what you experienced from them is entirely possible. It isn't like that anymore and had been a model. Once Camden was taken over by the state after consecutive mayor's went to jail it improved. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-jersey-city-disbanded-its-police-force-here-s-what-n1231677

I feel safer in the Rutgers neighborhood than a lot of places in Philly right now.
