<p>Looking for another suggestion and willing to consider the Midwest.....can't resist mentioning WUSTL, which has a respected political science program as well as an international studies major. And a philosophy that encourages double majoring and taking courses in any of its departments and UG divisions. Beautiful campus, excellent academics, fun vibe, and merit aid to boot. You can't go wrong, as the saying goes. </p>
<p>Link to IR: International</a> Area Studies</p>
<p>I know Penn's IR graduates do very, very well.</p>
<p>one last bump...
any other suggestions?</p>

I think that I want to be in a city in some capacity, definitely not in a rural area, but I want at least some sort of campus setting to it. I don't think that I want a huge greek scene, either, I will have to look at which colleges that limits.

<p>There ya go! You just narrowed your college list rather dramatically. Now, you can start focusing on suburban/somewhat urban schools, without a huge frat/party scene, and a notable strength in poli sci and intl relations.</p>
