I went to both schools. Syracuse undergrad and Rutgers for grad school. I lived in both cities. Downtown New Brunswick is not great. However, the outskirts (more towards the university) are very nice. Rutgers is actually in the process of moving the central focus of the university to Livingston campus (which is across the river) instead of college ave. I think college age will always be the more desirable location based on off campus housing and nightlife though.

Anyway... I looked up crime rates for both cities. Syracuse has a higher violent crime rate and a higher property crime rate than New Brunswick. Both of which are well above the national averages. Having the experience of living in both locations... I wouldn't put one over the other. Both have their nice spots. Both have their bad spots. I know people from both schools who were mugged.

As a side note. I liked Syracuse's campus more than Rutgers. Rutgers has like 5 campus a few minutes from eachother so it is very spread out and sometimes a pain to get from class to class. I think I'm one of the rare people on this board (maybe in the country) that support both teams lol.
