I am looking for colleges that are in / near a large city, but also have a traditional campus, somewhat separated/apart from the city. Would also be nice if most students lived on campus for 4 years. If anyone could list some schools that sound like this that would be awesome!
Boston College, Fordham, U of Denver, U of Miami, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, U of Southern California, U of San Diego, Washington U in St. Louis, Georgetown U., Villanova, St. Joseph’s U (Philadelphia), Emory, Rice U. There are lots of public ones with traditional campuses in/near big cities ( e.g. U of Cincinnati, U of South Florida), but very few public schools have enough dorm space to keep very many students on campus after the first year or two.
Boston College is traditionally first two years on campus. Third year the juniors move into apartments nearby and everyone moves back on for their senior year. It’s a minimum of three years.
Top10 percent of admitted students, school of nursing and recruited athletes are all offered all 4 years.
Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore? Tufts? Macalester?
Valparaiso University has on campus living required for 6 semesters, public transportation to Chicago available
Holy Cross, WPI, Clark, Richmond
University of Rochester, Trinity (CT)
JHU.
Rhodes, Richmond, Vanderbilt, Tulane
American U, Goucher, Johns Hopkins, Loyola U MD, UPenn, Columbia, Yale, Brown, Harvard.
That’s just a few in the Northeast alone.
Rollins, Occidental, Rhodes, Macalester, Trinity (TX), Loyola New Orleans.
University of Maryland, Northeastern, University of Southern California, UCLA, University of Wisconsin, Brandeis, Sarah Lawrence, Hofstra, Brooklyn College. University of Chicago, Ohio State.
Georgetown has a traditional campus quad and feel thought in DC. Some students (not sure how many) rent apartment/townhouses near campus as upper classmen.) American also has traditional campus.
Rice has a traditional enclosed campus in the heart of the Houston museum district. At Rice, most students live on campus three out of four years. Most students have to live off campus junior year, but can return for senior year. Students in leadership positions usually can stay on campus for all four years.
