How safe is Keshtopur for a college student?

I am a college student looking for flats to live in Kolkata and Keshtopur was one of my options. However, alot of friends and brokers, even, told me that Keshtopur is not necessarily a safe place despite the low rent. I am also not a local so I am not very aware of how safe all these localities in Kolkata are. Please let me know your opinion or even suggest places where I can get cheap flats near New Town (within 45 minutes of bus ride).

If possible, please provide with a dealer's phone number
