<p>You might want to take a look at the top international relations schools. Georgetown and Johns Hopkins come to mind. I’m not very familiar with Georgtown, but JHU has a great history department, a well-regarded department of [Germanic</a> and Romance Languages](<a href=“http://grll.jhu.edu/about/]Germanic”>About | Department of Modern Languages and Literatures | Johns Hopkins University), and their program in [East</a> Asian Studies](<a href=“http://sites.jhu.edu/east-asian/undergrad_studies.html]East”>http://sites.jhu.edu/east-asian/undergrad_studies.html) is heavily focused in China (Hopkins has a campus in China through SAIS). They have been steadily growing their foreign language offerings through the [Center</a> for Language Education](<a href=“http://www.cledu.jhu.edu/about.htm]Center”>http://www.cledu.jhu.edu/about.htm).</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you’re looking for in terms of an urban campus. If you want something like NYU, Hopkins is probably not the best option. It’s in a city (Baltimore), but it has a more traditional campus of grassy quads, with a small park on one side and an urban village on the other.</p>
