<p>Beyond Columbia and NYU, look at Fordham (the Bronx) and Drew (not hard to get to NYC)</p>

3

<p>Also, look at Manhattan College in Riverdale.</p>

4

<p>Fairfield University in Fairfield CT ... Fairfield is on the New Haven line of MetroNorth so easy to get to NYC</p>

5

<p>Marist, many schools in CT (U Conn, Trinity, etc.), Rutgers</p>

6

<p>Sarah Lawrence (Bronxville), Vassar (also in Poughkeepsie as is Marist),</p>

<p>Look into Iona College and Pace University(Westchester), Hofstra (Long Island), Mount St.Mary's (Newburgh).</p>

<p>Some SUNY's: Stony Brook, New Paltz</p>

<p>Barnard College! It's an all-women's college, right in NYC. If you go to Barnard, you can take classes at Columbia too.</p>

<p>Fordham, SUNY stony brook, Iona, Hofstra, SUNY Binghamton(a little farthur north than 70 miles)</p>
