<p>The title basically says what I'm looking for</p>
<p>Pomona College in Claremont CA is pretty good</p>
<p>Most LACs are surburban or rural. The best city LACs are Barnard, Macalester, Reed, and Occidental. There are others, but I don't think they are as popular and I might have forgot some.</p>
<p>Vassar or Wesleyan.</p>
<p>Swarthmore, Haverford, Macalester</p>
<p>Reed!
ten ch</p>
<p>Y'know, I think it's pretty contradicting to go to colleges that pride themselves on being small and intimate... and to want those colleges to be in cities. >_></p>

<p>Actually, it makes perfect sense. One of the few disadvantages of a good liberal arts college is that it can start to feel a little claustrophobic after four years. A location that gives easy access to a city -- for dinners with friends, for music, for museums, or for just hanging out in the real world -- goes a long way towards solving that issue.</p>

<p>This is not the way I would characterize the location all these schools. For example, describing Wellesley as "urban" is really misleading. It's in a very toney close-in suburb of Boston.</p>
