<p>So my ideal college has strong academics, a good sense of campus community, a good party scene, and access to a major city. It doesn't have to be in one but I'd like the chance to explore the city on weekends without it being my campus itself(so schools like NYU are out)I think the University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown are like this but I'm having a hard time thinking of others. Does anybody have any suggestions?</p>
<p>Northwestern</p>
<p>Vanderbilt, Tulane, U Miami, Northwestern, Northeastern, Boston U, George Washington, Columbia, U Chicago. There’s tons!</p>
<p>Boston College not sure about party scene
USC</p>
<p>Many colleges in the Boston metro area would fit this bill. Also Stanford. You may want to post your stats and other wishes (geographic location? majors?) so that we can better tailor our suggestions.</p>

<p>Thanks so much! You guys really gave me a variety of schools to look into!</p>
