<p>I am in a dilemma. I need to apply to more schools. I want schools that are similar to Chicago, but I don't know where to start. I live in Florida and I am trying to goto a big city school, outside of Florida.</p>
<p>This thread has a pretty comprehensive list of colleges that Chicago prospects might also like!</p>
<p>I've heard that Columbia and Chicago are similar in some ways, though they're also different in a lot of ways. Swarthmore, also, I've heard... and Bard as a safety? This is all just, like I said, things I've heard. I don't know how much is accurate.</p>
