<p>I would love to be in or close to a city, but I'm not a big fan of how most city colleges don't have campuses.
I've heard that American and Northeastern have campuses, but can anyone think of any others?
Thanks! (:</p>
<p>University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, University of Washington, Macalester, Creighton. There are actually quite a few. It’d help to narrow it down by your stats, intended major, etc.</p>
<p>Stats: 29 ACT, 3.7ish GPA, top 10% of my class, and EC’s include: NHS, Student Government President, Assistant Editor for school paper, varsity golf team, and volunteer work with Special Olympics and a local food pantry.
As for major, I’m thinking along the lines of Communications/Public Relations.
Thanks for the help. I was looking at UW but the size worries me a bit.</p>
<p>Fordham University</p>
<p>I bet either UCLA or USC has a nice campus, but that’s not really in a city like NYU will be.</p>
<p>University of San Francisco looks uber cool. They don’t have much of like a quad or anything but they are right next to Golden Gate Park and near Golden gate recreation area. That area is sooooo pretty. And Sanfran is awesome.</p>
<p>UW-Madison! Madison is a smaller city but there’s still so much to do and it has a city feel as well as a campus feel. :)</p>
<p>Whoops, I forgot to mention that I’d prefer East Coast schools. Like I said, I was looking at UW but both the size and the distance worry me a bit. Thanks for the suggestions though. (:</p>
<p>elbeeen - I was looking at Fordham but I’ve been told that it’s in a really bad neighborhood. Is the neighborhood that bad though?</p>

<p>I’m a rising senior from the east coast looking for some city schools with nice campuses too! :] i had the opportunity to do a college visit at fordham this past week. coming from a suburban town, i’ll admit the bronx is a little bit, well, intimidating. the campus is gorgeous! it’s really secure, too. it’s gated except for a vehicle entrance and a few pedestrian entrances. but they are monitored 24/7 by security guards. you need an ID to get on campus, so no worries about that.</p>
<p>also, the tour guides i talked to on the trip said that you get used to the neighborhood after a while. it’s not the kind of place that you can go out alone at 2am in, but they said it really just receives kind of a bad rep. i walked around after the tour looking for some dinner with my mom and never once felt uneasy. </p>
<p>they care a lot about their students, it seems. it kind of took me by surprise how much i truly liked it haha. i think it tops my list now. anyways, i hope my ramblings helped a little and i wish you the best of luck :D</p>
<p>Coming from NYC I have a skewed idea of what a city is, so when I visited Boston this week I was surprised with what it really mean to be in/near a city. I loved Boston University’s campus, but many disagree.</p>
<p>Someone mentioned Fordham, I would agree with that too. It reminded me of Boston College a little bit… a campus I also liked.</p>
<p>University of South Carolina. Gorgeous campus and located right in the middle of Columbia, South Carolina’s capitol.</p>
<p>University of Pittsburgh
Syracuse (small city, but good communications program)</p>
