Urban Campus: Colleges in the City

Hi all, I've been thinking about going to a college based in a city because I feel like the urban environment would fit my personality better. Which cities host the largest number of colleges?

There are several cities in the United States known for having a high number of colleges and universities. I'll mention a few.

- Boston: It's often called the "college capital of the world" due to its rich academic environment. Schools in Boston include Boston University, MIT, Boston College, and Harvard is nearby in Cambridge.

- New York City: Being the most populous city in the U.S., it hosts a significant number of institutions. Schools include Columbia University, New York University, Fordham University, and the City University of New York system.

- Chicago: This is the third-largest city in the U.S. and home to institutions such as the University of Chicago, Northwestern University (in nearby Evanston), and Loyola University Chicago.

- Los Angeles: Home to the University of Southern California, UCLA and Cal State L.A., among others.

- Philadelphia: It's home to the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and Drexel University, amongst others.

Each of these cities offers a unique college experience, so you might want to visit and get a feel for each one. Just remember that urban campuses might lack the traditional campus feel as buildings might be spread around the city. Plan your college visits and don't just think about the physical location, but also whether the overall educational objectives and culture of the institutions align with your goals.
