<p>So lately the only place I've been able to think about moving to is Manhattan after I graduate. (I'm a sophomore) & Yes, I'm sure my thoughts and interests will change a little and I need to do my research, but if anyone can think of any good schools in this area off the top of their heads, please reply.</p>
<p>and nothing to big like NYU or too hard to get into like Columbia.</p>
<p>You might think about Sarah Lawrence. It is not in New York City, but is only a short train ride away, in Bronxville, just over the border from the Bronx in Westchester County. I teach in Brooklyn, way south of there, and a colleague of mine lives a ten minute walk from the Sarah Lawrence campus. It takes him maximum 45 minutes to commute each way from his home in Bronxville to work in Brooklyn. You should be able to get into Manhattan from Sarah Lawrence campus in about 20-25 minutes, maybe less. In Manhattan itself, there is Hunter College, City College (big, though), off the top of my head, and there are other colleges in other boroughs (there are 5 boroughs in NYC-- Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island) which are often very good and worth looking into.</p>
<p>How about Fordham? They have 2 campuses, 1 in the city and the main campus in the Bronx. It is a highly respected school and everyone I know really seems to like it there.</p>
<p>Some questions in order for watcher's of this thread to help you in your decision :</p>
<p>1) I'm not sure what your current situation is... are you thinking of transfering or going to grad school ?</p>
<p>2) What course do you intend to major in ?</p>
<p>3) How much tuition can you afford ?</p>
<p>4) Are you open to commuting a bit (say, out of Manhattan but in its vicinity ) , or must the school be in Manhattan ?</p>
<p>...also consider Manhattan College, NYU, LIU. There are many more schools that are in the NY/NJ/CT area.</p>
<p>I second the recommendation for Fordham. The Rose Hill campus offers the traditional college look (ivy brick buildings, grassy quads), while still being only a short train ride away from Manhattan. </p>
<p>The city campus is nice too, but more urban and non-traditional.</p>
<p>I've also heard good things about Wagner. It's on Staten Island (right by Manhattan), and the campus is really woodsy and cute.</p>
<p>Definitely Fordham, like a few people have already mentioned.</p>
<p>There's also all of the CUNY schools, depending on what exactly you're looking for.</p>
<p>Perhaps Bates would be a consideration? I believe that they're SAT optional.</p>
<p>you could check out hofstra, i dont know too much about it though</p>
<p>check out barnard.</p>

Isn't Bates in Maine?</p>
<p>liberal arts or no?</p>
<p>Ok thanks,
Well I'm planning on going to med school but I'm not sure what I plan on majoring in so I guess any school with a Pre med program. and thanks! i'll check out some of those. I've looked at Wagner and liked it. Anyone heard of Marymount Manhattan College? Those are the 2 I've liked most out of what I've looked at so far.</p>
<p>If you like the small LACs, you may like Marist, although it's a little bit further away. And if you don't mind a slightly alternative vibe, Eugene Lang is right in the middle of the city. </p>
<p>If you don't mind bigger schools, my friends who have visited really liked SUNY Purchase.</p>
<p>theres stevens in hoboken, nj.. its a tech school but i dont know how they are premed. hoboken is a little city itself and directly across the river from the city</p>
<p>First, Bates is definitely in Maine, so that post doesn't apply here. </p>
<p>Manhattanville is not too far out of NYC, in Westchester, NY. Also, I believe CW Post and Adelphi are on Long Island?</p>
<p>Don't look at the SUNYs or the LI schools (Adelphi, Hofstra, etc) if you're looking for an urban environment.
But schools in NYC (i.e. the five boroughs, not just Manhattan) will give you more of a city feel even if they're not in THE city (Manhattan).</p>
<p>Strike that...Uh...Bard, not Bates.</p>
<p>Bard.</p>
<p>^It's still an hour and a half away from the city.</p>
