<p>Other than ivies, help me list a couple of colleges in the northeast with a good urban feel to it. Also a college that has some sort of social life besides academics.The only ones that are ontop of my head currently are:</p>
<p>Cooper Union
BU
Rutgers State
Rochester Institute of Technology
Carnegie Mellon University</p>
<p>Thanks! any help would help!</p>
<p>MIT is not an Ivy, but it certainly is a top engineering school!</p>
<p>UPenn, especially for certain types of engineering. </p>
<p>Swarthmore has its own sort of social life, but is very academically intense, in a slighlty different way than MIT. </p>
<p>Harvard is good for eng, just not top 20, and MIT is a resource to all Harvard undergrad engineering majors.</p>
<p>Columbia.</p>
<p>laxer, the OP said "some sort of social life besides academics".;) Not that CMU, RIT or CU are better there, at least MIT is in Cambridge. </p>
<p>Chiwah, I would look into some of the top Big10 schools: Michigan, Wisconsin. Not exactly NE, but not very far either. Also, McGill U in Canada (tops in terms of social life/urban feel with a great engineering dept.)</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins
U Maryland College Park
Columbia
Case Western
Rutgers New Brunswick
WPI
Drexel
SUNY Buffalo
U Pittsburgh
Boston U
Northeastern
Polytechnic U
Syracuse
Tufts</p>
<p>BTW, RIT has very little social life and it does not have an urban feel at all.</p>
<p>lol thanks guys, i dont know what i was thinking</p>
