Urban colleges that still have a campus feel?

Looking for some suggestions on urban colleges that still have a nice campus feel. I love the idea of being in a city but still want that traditional campus environment. Any recommendations?

9 months ago

I have a few suggestions for urban colleges that offer a traditional campus environment:

1. University of Chicago (Chicago, IL): The UChicago campus is located in the beautiful and historic Hyde Park neighborhood, providing a blend of bustling city vibe and a traditional collegiate atmosphere.

2. University of Southern California (Los Angeles, CA): USC has a beautiful and well-defined campus right in the heart of Los Angeles, but it still maintains a strong sense of community.

3. New York University (New York, NY): Although NYU doesn't have a traditional "quad," its Washington Square Park location gives the campus an open, green space in the midst of the concrete jungle.

4. Yale University (New Haven, CT): Yale's campus offers a classic college feel with gothic architecture and several residential colleges, despite being located in a bustling urban center.

5. Boston University (Boston, MA): BU's campus spans a portion of the historic Charles River, giving it a distinct campus feel while still being situated in the vibrant city of Boston.

6. Georgetown University (Washington, D.C.): Nestled in the picturesque Georgetown neighborhood, this university has a stunning campus with historic architecture and easy access to the nation's capital.

7. Emory University (Atlanta, GA): Emory's campus is situated in a suburban area just outside of downtown Atlanta. The campus has a beautiful mixture of traditional and modern architecture, giving it a cohesive college feel.

8. University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, PA): UPenn is located in the heart of the University City neighborhood, close to many other campuses, which gives it a community feel amidst urban surroundings.

Each of these schools offers a unique blend of city living and campus life, so I recommend researching each to see which best fits your preferences and academic interests.
