Piscataway Township Reviews
Rating 4.09 out of 5 152 reviews
I haven’t explored much to be honest but from a high-schooler’s perspective its a town with not much to do but few alarming/illegal activities going on. Community isn’t mean and a lot of people just keep to themselves. Haven’t seen any crazy locals and it does host a couple of neighborhood events every year. Also there are some cool things to do in nearby towns that border us, but we have a lot of company buildings that nobody talks about.
I grew up in Piscataway since I was 3 years old. I attended the public school since first grade, and am now a high school junior. As a result, I went through every aspect of life here. I love my neighborhood as it always felt safe and comforting to me. I can play out on the streets with friends until the street light comes on. The town itself is very diverse and I was able to learn about different cultural backgrounds through every person I met. As an Asian American, I felt a lost of social identity in the Conackamack side of town, but that gap closed the moment all the schools joined in high school. There are many programs and reforms implemented by the school system, and the board highly encourages students to stand up for what they believe in. The students surrounding me are highly educated with a passion for community service, STEM, politics, business, learning, and so much more. The school continues to provide opportunities for improvement as they want the best for all of us.
I've lived in Piscataway for 14 years and this is the most diversity I've been in a community in New Jersey. Everyone is welcoming and they really care about what's going on in the town.
I was hesitant about moving here but once I experience that peaceful lifestyle, I can't imagine myself of family moving out of this beloved town. One should be considered lucky to live within a community where there is a local news letter that come into their mailbox quarterly, and where the school system is considered to be "Blue Ribbon" schools. How could I want any different.
