colleges i would like?

My first choice is currently Boston University and I was wondering if anyone could give suggestions of other schools I might like. These are some things I am looking for or that I liked about BU. It is a slight reach for me so I would like to find a range of competitiveness with some equally competitive schools and some that are easier to get into.

  • northeast
  • urban, still has a real campus and some green
  • most students live on campus for four years and housing is guaranteed
  • diverse
  • D1 hockey (or another sport, but I like the school spirit and sports games being part of student life)
  • good internship and career placement resources

I also wanted to mention the flexibility being the different schools for students to change their major or take classes in other schools. I would appreciate schools suggestions that meet a few or more of these.

Maybe Providence? Not sure of your stats, but hockey is big there, right in Providence

Fordham?
Syracuse?
U of Rochester?
UM College Park?

In terms of different from BU, but still meeting most of your criteria, look into Union.

I’m not sure about Union, it seems like greek life dominates the social life.

Greek activity may be associated with D1 sports. At a smaller school such as Union it can be more obvious though.

Other, more or less urban schools in the NE with D1 hockey teams include:
College of the Holy Cross
Northeastern
Providence College
Syracuse
University of Vermont

Relax some of your criteria and many more possibilities open up.
Minus the hockey, maybe American University in DC.

I’m willing to look into suggestions that fit at least some of these criteria!

American University
Drexel University
Duquesne University
Emmanuel College (MA)
George Washington University
La Salle University
Loyola University Maryland
Manhattan College
St. John’s University
Saint Joseph’s University
Stevens Institute of Technology
Temple University
Towson University
Umass Amherst
Umass Lowell
University of Pittsburgh
University of Richmond
Wagner College

These are some schools that I think are close to fitting your criteria.

Maybe American University?

Among all your criteria, which 3-4 would you say are “must haves”?

northeast, urban, residential
