<p>What are some LACs which are in large cities? I mean like right in the city or right next to the city, not just like 5-10 miles outside of the city?</p>
<p>Thanks for your time,
Danny</p>
<p>Rice is technically not a LAC, but it is VERY LAC-like, with less than 3,000 undergraduates. It's situated literally in downtown Houston.</p>
<p>Case Western in Cleveland. Not really a LAC but LAC like.</p>
<p>I think Macalester is in St. Paul, Lewis & Clark and Reed in Portland, Occidental in LA, Barnard in NYC (women only), Goucher in Baltimore. Just noticed you're in St. Paul, so you should know about Macalester already. I'm sure there are others, but that's all I can think of now.</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick replies. I am aware of Macalester and actually live pretty close to it. Are there any more you guys can think of?</p>
<p>It depends what you mean by a "large" city. There aren't many in large metropolitan areas but there are a number of LACs in medium sized cities rather than small towns. In the midwest, Lawrence in Appleton, Wisconsin and Kalamazoo in Michigan are examples. And Lake Forest is a few train stops north of Chicago.</p>
<p>Another LAC in a large city is Rhodes in Memphis.</p>
<p>Beloit College in Beloit Wisconsin is in a medium sized town</p>
<p>Trinity College in downtown hartford</p>
<p>Holy Cross is 1 mile from downtown Worcester</p>
<p>Swarthmore, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr aren’t <em>in</em> Philadelphia proper but they’re about as close as you can get, in nearby suburbs with excellent train service, each about 20 minutes by rail from 30th St. Station, the main Philadelphia train station.</p>
<p>“Trinity College in downtown hartford”</p>
<p>hartford isnt exactly a city that people would want to be in though…</p>
<p>Neither is Worcester.</p>
<p>DePaul in Chicago. Also Loyola, which is hardly outside the city.</p>
<p>Holy Cross actually is in the city of Worcester, so it counts. Clark University, which is LAC-like in feel, is also in Worcester. </p>
<p>I prefer Worcester to Hartford, but… yeah. </p>
<p>Some others I can think of, that either are specifically LACs or feel as if they are, and that haven’t already been mentioned, include: Simmons College in Boston (all women), Vassar (in Poughkeepsie, NY - smallish to medium sized city), Marist College (also in P’keepsie), Smith College (in Northampton, MA - small but funky city), Marymount Manhattan (in NYC), Wagner College (in NYC, but on Staten Island), Manhattan College (NYC), Providence College, Emerson (Boston), Wheelock College (Boston), Flagler College (St. Augustine, FL, which isn’t huge, but is right on the beach…), the College of Charleston, and the College of Mt. Saint Vincent (NYC).</p>
<p>It all depends on what you mean by “large city”. I’m in NYC, so to me, it’s hard to judge what others might think is a large city. Is Indianapolis large, for example? Is Providence? So if any of those I suggested are in cities that are too small, just skip them.</p>
<p>Eugene Lang (New School) in NYC is a good one.</p>
<p>For females, Agnes Scott in Atlanta. </p>
<p>I too would suggest Trinity – but the one in San Antonio, TX. </p>
<p>Colorado College is in a fairly large city, as is Willamette.</p>
<p>Samford and Birmingham-Southern are both in Birmingham and are very underrated.</p>
<p>
C of C has over 10,000 students. Definitely not LAC-like. A school like Tufts or Brandeis would be much more appropriate.</p>
<p>Nazareth College is almost in Rochester (Pittsford) and Goucher is almost in Baltimore (Towson). If those cities were allowed to sprawl like Colorado Springs, Phoenix and other western cities they would be in cities. Salem College is in Winston-Salem. Moravian College is in Bethlehem, PA. Muhlenburg is in Allentown. Not exactly metropolises but they are cities.</p>
<p>There’s also Wellesley, in a suburb of Boston.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say Bard is THAT close to a city…it probably feels pretty rural.</p>
<p>barnard college</p>
<p>Emory is pretty close to Atlanta</p>
