Answer 1 :
The main district where most of the big companies are located isn't too bad, but don't wander far.
Answer 2 :
I worked in Elizabeth, NJ for almost 3 years. When I started I was nervous about the area, but after a short time I realized that it's actually not so bad. I was actually looking at houses in Newark until I was laid off. There are good and bad areas all over. Newark is the same. Any of the business districts will be fine. If I was you I'd take a test commute there a couple times. Go once during morning rush and once after the afternoon rush to check out the area, see who's around, etc. I really doubt you'd have a problem, but if you're not comfortable you won't get much out of your internship
