<p>I am going to NYC for 2 days in a few weeks and i want to see some colleges while I am there. I already made and appt. for NYU, but I was wondering what other colleges are around the city worth visiting? Does anyone attend a college on or near Manhattan?</p>
<p>You should check out columbia university and NYU. If your the ivy league, campus type- Columbia might just float your boat. If your into business or the arts (movies, drama, etc.) and you dont mind having a campus scattered all over greenwich village- NYU might just float your boat. Just make sure you call the undergraduate admissions office and find out when they have the campus tours; then you can fit into you and your family's schedule. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Columbia and Barnard (uptown)
Fordham (both the Bronx and Lincoln Center - midtown)
Wagner College (STaten island)
Manhattan College (Bronx)
Pace University (I believe has a downtown campus)</p>
<p>Probably more....</p>
<p>If you want to visit a CUNY, I would recommend looking at Baruch and Hunter (and ask about the CUNY Honors program, even though I'm not sure if you could qualify if you're out-of-state). </p>
<p>The Pace campus is downtown near the exit of the Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan side of course.</p>
<p>I am interested in a campus, but i want to be as near to the city as i can. I dont think that i could make it in a Ivy school, and although i am unsure, i am thinking that i want to major in Business</p>
<p>Well theres actually a ton right here in the city,
NYU
Columbia
Fordham
Manhattan
La Salle
Polytechnic
Pace
Hunter
Baruch
John Jay
Stevens (ten mins. away in Hoboken)
these are just a few</p>
<p>If you want to be close to the city, I would look at Fordham, Pace and Baruch because the three have excellent business programs.</p>
<p>Pace University has a good business program, and its honors program is very strong and generous with financial aid.</p>
<p>Definitely check out Fordham. Rose Hill is the gated Bronx campus with a more traditional college feel, yet still in/close to the city. Lincoln Center is in Midtown Manhattan and it's very urban, but as a Fordham student you can take classes and live at both, and a bus runs frequently between the two.</p>

Check out Pace University. No campus, but right in the financial center, strong business curriculum with lots of opportunities in the city...</p>
<p>If you're more interested in the campus side but are not ivy material, definitely check out Fordham and St John's University. </p>
<p>CUNY used to be bad but I hear it's shot back up in the past few years, so I'd check it out.</p>
<p>If you want to major in business in NYC, you should definitely look into Pace, Fordham and Baruch. They are well regarded in New York City. NYU has a highly selective undergraduate Business program, but the admission is very competitive.</p>
<p>Manhattan College is located in Riverdale. It offers majors in Accounting, CIS, Economics, Finance, Global Business Studies, Management and Marketing. Marymount Manhattan, located in 221 East 71st Street, also offers a Business Management degree.</p>
<p>John Jay focuses on Criminal Justice. Steve and Polytechnic offer degree in Technology Management. </p>
<p>Hope this will help.</p>
<p>CUNY has lucrative possibilities but no campus housing. Other than that...</p>
<p>College of Mount Saint Vincent (pretty little river shore campus in the Bronx)
Fordham U, (Rose Hill in the Bronx, very traditional residential)
Manhattan College (very strong academics; catholic school in the Bronx)</p>
<p>Saint Peter's College (Jersey City NJ; very urban feel and nearby)
Rutgers University-Newark (business school on campus; rough but rising area)</p>
<p>i'd say do NYU/Fordham/Columbia and that's it. Maybe throw in Manhattan if you got a lot of free time. I'd say others aren't worth visiting.</p>
<p>Pace University =]</p>
<p>Then you'd be absolutely mistaken, MK99, particularly with regard to Manhattan College, an excellent institution with good placement and contacts. And it's located in the very pleasant neighborhood of Riverdale, a somewhat pricey area.</p>
<p>i'd strongly recommend looking into the cuny (macaulay) honors college (<a href="http://portal.cuny.edu/portal/site/cuny/index.jsp?epi-content=GENERIC&epiproxymethod=get&viewID=epiproxybanner&beanID=929751129&epiproxyrealurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww1.cuny.edu%2Fportal_ur%2Fhonorscollege%2Findex.html%5B/url%5D">http://portal.cuny.edu/portal/site/cuny/index.jsp?epi-content=GENERIC&epiproxymethod=get&viewID=epiproxybanner&beanID=929751129&epiproxyrealurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww1.cuny.edu%2Fportal_ur%2Fhonorscollege%2Findex.html</a>). if you make it to cuny hunter honors college, then housing is offered to you for FREE (in addition to full tuition coverage plus a macbook). however, the closest major to business they have is economics. baruch is a well known cuny for business and is great with career development but they don't operate their own housing facilities. there is a student housing center across the street, however, and helps out many students in that respect. if you don't think you can make it to nyu's business school, baruch is probably as equally difficult to get into but i know they love OOS students so you should check it out.</p>
<p>I don't want to thrown in Fordham just because I go to Fordham, that isn't right. But from what I see, I think you should definitley check it out. The bronx campus is absolutely beautiful, and the academics are really top-notch and underrated. Fordham is definitley on the rise too. The acceptance rate has dropped 8% in the past two years. </p>
<p>Plus, Fordham strikes a great balance between residential campus/community and its urban enviroment. You can be on campus and completely forget that you're in NYC, but you're also only 20 minutes away from Midtown. There are four easy ways of getting into Manhattan. The Metro-North Harlem Line Train, the D Train, the 4 Train, and the Ram Van (runs to 59th and Colombus at the Lincoln Center Campus straight to the Bronx campus).</p>
<p>New York City has a ton of colleges. In addition to NYU, there’s Columbia, Fordham (heard you don’t get what you paid for though), Pratt (art), Bard, Parsons The New School for Design, CUNYs, and Barnard (liberal arts).</p>
<p>If you’re on a budget, you should check out Cooper Union (Architecture, art, engineering), Pace University (great for business especially) or Macaulay Honors.
