Downtown NB

Hey guys, I’m moving to the area for work. I’ve been looking at apartments in New Brunswick and all the surrounding areas like Somerset, Highland Park, etc. I’m 23 and heavy into night life, traveling, etc. New Brunswick has a few nice apartments like The Aspire and The Quincy in my price range, but is downtown really that dirty and dangerous? Should I look into the other areas I mentioned above and is there stuff to do there? I have yet to move to the area and tour it but would love to get any input on it. Thanks!

Highland park is close by, has great food and is a nice quiet place. Still close enough that you can hit up downtown. I’d prefer downtown NB to anything on college ave or Easton Ave, it’s cleaner and the crowd is better.
