<p>I've "narrowed" my list to these 29 colleges and I would like to know CC's opinions of them.
As for me, I am a student that has moved from Charlotte, NC to Baton Rouge, LA and I enjoy having city life but with nice kept surroundings (like in Charlotte) would these colleges fit the bill? How is campus, dorm, and school life? THANK YOU!</p>

<p>I’d strongly suggest that you get your hands on a good college guide book or two (Fiske, Princeton Review) and read up on the schools.</p>

<p>You have some great schools on your list! John Hopkins is a great school right in Baltimore if you’re looking for a city lifestyle. If you are looking for a very urban campus, I would suggest looking at colleges in Pittsburgh or Boston. There are over 60 colleges in Boston. Boston is a really clean city with lots to do and with so many colleges and universities, I’m sure you can find one you like (depending on your opinion and academic profile, etc.)</p>
