<p>so far in my college search, i've chosen NYU, fordham, loyola, depaul, osu, and CUNY. however, i'm afraid that i won't get into my top two choices, fordham and nyu. can anyone recommend any other schools that have city based campuses?</p>
<p>The George Washington University
Barnard College (if you’re a woman)
American University
Columbia University
Eugene Lang College - The New School For Liberal Arts
University Of San Francisco
The University Of Texas At Austin
Georgetown University
Northeastern University
McGill University
Tulane University
Emerson College
College Of Charleston
Suffolk University
Boston College
Boston University</p>
<p>Are Fordham and NYU your top choices? If so, I’d recommend Boston University; similar admissions requirements as Fordham and right in the center of Boston.</p>
<p>yes fordham and nyu are probably my top choices.</p>
<p>anyone know anything about CUNY? i think that i’m going to apply at hunter college but i really don’t know that much about the school. being from ohio, i’m not exactly their usual applicant.</p>
<p>Seattle University</p>
<p>CUNY - Hunter</p>
<p>Academics</p>
<p>"Prospective students for looking for an academic “bang for the buck” in New York City should take a long look at Hunter College, the largest (in terms of enrollment) and most selective of the CUNY colleges. Physically, Hunter is a reflection of its hometown; with nearly 16,000 undergraduates attending classes in four buildings on three blocks of the Upper East Side, the “halls of Hunter College are extremely crowded.” There are figurative similarities to the city, too. Like the Big Apple itself, Hunter has a ton to offer academically, but it’s not just handed to you: “The academic experience can be inspiring or painfully dull, depending on one’s interests, motivation, and desire to be challenged intellectually, as well as luck.” Take professors, for example. “Many professors are accomplished and respected,” are “often winners of the highest awards in their chosen profession[s], work as professionals in New York City, and are excellent contacts for further academic pursuits or for work after college.” Others are “graduate students with limited experience or time” for students. Moreover, “Dealing with administrative matters at this school is not for the faint of heart,” and “run of the mill transactions (processing of financial aid paperwork, registering for classes)” can “devour hours of your life.” But students assure us that “if you are self-motivated you’ll be fine.” Registration is tough “because everyone is competing against each other for classes,” but on the upside, “Hunter’s class schedule is very accommodating to people who work either part- or full-time” and “Evening classes are abundant.”</p>
<p>Student Body</p>
<p>“The typical Hunter student “is from one of the five boroughs and commutes to school every day.” That’s pretty much where generalizations of the student body end. Hunter College has made repeated appearances on this publication’s “Diverse Student Population” top 20 ranking list, and for good reason. “In terms of socioeconomic status, immigrants, languages, cultures, religion, race, ethnicity, age . . . Hunter has it all.” “Students range in age from newly graduated high schoolers to retirees.” And “There really doesn’t seem to be [a] dominant ethnic group.” It’s the kind of place where “nothing seems too out of the ordinary,” “everyone fits in fine,” and where it won’t surprise you to see a “White punk rock girl having a friendly conversation with a Muslim girl in the full head-to-toe [garb].” If you must generalize, it’s easier to say what most Hunter students are not. This list is short: “out-of-state students” who are “not liberal.””</p>
<p>Campus Life</p>
<p>"As a commuter school, “There isn’t as much campus life as you would find in other schools.” Only about 600 of Hunter’s 16,000 undergraduates live in the college’s lone residence hall, and of the vast majority of students who are commuters, many simply “have too much going on outside of school to try to experience all that college life has to offer.” But that’s not to say that school unity is totally lacking. In lieu of residence life bonding experiences, “Clubs are very good at connecting people with similar interests.” Plus, during the school day, “There’s plenty of places [around campus] to just lounge with friends.” Off campus—the question is, what isn’t there? For those who like to unwind outside, “The school is close to Central Park.” For the more urban-minded, “There are concerts, Broadway plays, and comedy shows.” There are “movies,” “great restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and shopping.” And let’s not forget that this is New York City; “just walking down the street can be a very entertaining experience.”</p>
<p>You may also want to check out Marymount Manhattan which despite it’s name, is
a non-religious, co-ed school on the UES. The focus is primarily on the arts with particularly good dance, theater and musical theaters departments, but I’ve know some very successful, happy graduates from the IR, social sciences and business departments.</p>
<p>Macalester! Northwestern is right next to Chicago.</p>
<p>I would add Case Western (Cleveland).</p>
<p>Syracuse University</p>
<p>If you’re looking at Hunter, you should also look at City College (which is also in the CUNY system, but is in northern Manhattan). If you don’t mind not being in Manhattan, also apply to Lehman College, Baruch College, Brooklyn College, Queens College, York College, and possibly the College of Staten Island (but CSI is the least city-like). Those are all less-competitive campuses of the CUNY system.</p>
<p>If you really want to be in or near New York, Hofstra is in Hempstead and Sarah Lawrence is in Yonkers. Neither one is in the city proper, but both are easily accessible by train.</p>
<p>University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
Gonzaga?
U of Chicago
University of Illinois-Chicago
Marquette University
Creighton
USC</p>
<p>It would help if you listed a bit more about yourself. What are your interests? Have you selected a major? Are you only interested in universities in the eastern states?</p>
<p>Georgia Tech</p>
<p>I would add UCLA and UCB to the list</p>
<p>to be frank, i have no idea what i want to do. i have some inklings but they’ll probably change so i’ll keep those to myself. i’m going in undecided so i can play the field a little bit and hopefully i can bring myself to the major that’s right for me.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins</p>
<p>If you like Loyola and DePaul, you might really like Marquette.</p>
<p>St. Louis University maybe? Marquette is a good suggestion to, Loyola Chicago as well. haha I just gave you three Jesuits schools</p>
