This forum is for the NYC suburbs. There's a separate forum for the Philly suburbs.

This, but well, this forum shouldn't be considered exclusively for NYC suburbs. It's for NJ that is not part of Philly suburbs. So I think, Jersey shore questions should go here, like AC, Cape May, etc.

Anyway NJ suburbs of Philly with large Indian populations and good schools are Voorhees, Marlton, Cherry Hill, and Mt. Laurel...I would say in that order from most Indian to least Indian

Though you're technically correct, the reason why a separate forum was created for South Jersey is because most North Jersey residents don't know much about the South part of the state and vice versa. And those whose lives revolve around Philly really are in a different world than metro NYC folks. It's almost like NJ is two different states.
