<p>Hi! I'm really interested in architecture, but I'm not sure what it will be like once i get into it so so far i have a list of good archi schools that are also great in other things: cornell, rice, carnegie mellon, cooper union, and wash u. I'm on a search now for non- archi schools ( i'm might major in something else for undergrad and revisit this topic later on in life) ....i'm trying to find places that are good in math and is also smaller like 4,000 or under, maybe something new a big city ( i already have u of chicago ) any other suggestions??</p>
<p>NYU...but it is a lot bigger than 4000.</p>
<p>ahh i guess i should say that i am looking for something smaller, a sense of community, and teachers that actually teach...nyu? not really for me</p>
<p>Williams has a fantastic math department, sense of community, teachers that really teach, and an Oxford-style tutorial program for upper-level classes--two students, one teacher.</p>
<p>Williams College, I 2nd</p>
<p>It is true that Williams is near North Adams, and not so far, really, from Troy. ;)</p>
<p>MIT has both a good math program and a good architecture program. Almost exactly 4000 undergrads, too. :)</p>
<p>( in reponse to williams) anything that is not so preppy and elitist? sorry if i sound really negative..hope i don't offend anyone...mit?? not very realistic</p>
<p>Princeton has a fantastic math department...it's not too far from NYC.</p>
<p>any schools that aren't crazy to get into ?</p>
<p>Williams is neither preppy nor elitest...what makes you think it is?</p>
<p>my friend's boyfriend goes there ...she said it was "a pool of upper east side ppl"</p>
<p>If you're looking at Cornell, Rice, Wash U, etc...you should have at least a shot at Princeton.</p>
<p>well thanks for you vote of confidence but my friend who got in yale, harvard, cal tech, cornell, and brown got rejected from princeton and she is brilliant at math ......</p>
<p>You're starting to sound like a troll. What colleges that you haven't yet named/heard anecdotes about--but think you might be able to get into-- can we approve for you? That would make it simpler.</p>
<p>Swarthmore, Harvey Mudd, Macalester, Reed. . .maybe Trinity (CT), though it's the preppiest of the bunch.</p>
<p>U of Rochester
RPI
Johns Hopkins
Carnegie Mellon
Northwestern
Rice
Caltech
Brown
Bates
Whitman
Wesleyan
Washington U
Trinity (CT)
Pomona
Bowdoin
Bucknell
Kenyon
Holy Cross
Harvey Mudd
Dickinson
Carleton
Colgate
Davidson</p>
<p>The OP is starting to **** me off.</p>
<p>Several of the suggested schools above are not very near a city.
If we are relaxing this constraint there are other schools I might name. For example my kid's taken math classes at Oberlin that are quite demanding, and the quality of instruction has been good. But it is 40 minutes from Cleveland. Probably closer to the city than many NY suburbs are to NYC, but still not quite there.</p>
<p>But maybe there's a small school that is someplace ( near or in a city)where you can also take some architecture-related courses? Anybody know of these? I don't. I wouldn't think most small schools have much in the way of architecture.</p>
<p>Don't know if the OP is double XX, but Smith has a highly regarded architecture major, and a reasonable math program (not as good as Williams, certainly), and an engineering program - but it is not in a big city (though a happening town). Barnard is in a city, and would give one access to Columbia's math department. </p>
<p>Your initial list is actually a good one (though Cornell operates as its own city!)</p>
