<p>since you want urban cities, look at schools near:</p>

<p>Philadelphia

<p>There are online databases where you can enter your criteria, such as URBAN, and you’ll get a list of possible choices…</p>

<p>Suggest looking into Holy Cross. Holy Cross is a small liberal arts college founded by the Georgetown Jesuits in 1843. It is the oldest Catholic college in New England and is the only Jesuit school that is strictly undergraduate and all professors are PhDs. HC is less than a hour from Boston, Providence, and Cape Cod. HC Basketball team went to the NCAA Division 1 basketball tournament last year.</p>
