<p>Brown, Vanderbilt, Georgetown</p>
<p>Rice is perfect, as ironmetal said. If you can stand city streets running through part of campus, add Harvard and Yale, and MIT. Dont want an ivy or top school?--- add Ga Tech, and USC.</p>
<p>Macalester, perhaps.</p>
<p>American. Columbia. Penn. UWashington. Seattle University. Fordham. Emory. UChicago.</p>
<p>Rice, Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, Emory, Washington University in St Louis, Tufts, USC, American, Tulane</p>
<p>A little more information would be helpful. There is a beautiful school in Atlanta called Ogelthorpe (in addition to Emory, Ga Tech, etc). What are your qualifications?</p>

<p>I don't know what area of the country you prefer or if you are only looking at super-selective schools, but many of the urban Catholic universities fit the bill: St. Joseph's, Scranton, Gonzaga, U of Dayton, Marquette, Holy Cross, Fordham-Rose Hill, Loyola Marymount, U of San Diego, Saint Louis University, Duquesne.</p>
<p>Clark University, Worcester, Mass.</p>

<p>I said this somewhere else recently, but Brown is a wonderful campus in a medium city. The campus is on College Hill, just 15-20 minute walk on the other side of the river from downtown. College Hill is dominated by the Brown campus, Dorms, off-campus housing and cool big historic houses. The elevated location creates it's own 'area' in the east side of the city. Thayer street caters to students and runs through campus. Wickendon street is just a couple of blocks away. All the streets are narrow, so there is not a lot of fast traffic going through. You can also get to Boston in about an hour. And you can walk down the hill for WaterFire!

<p>I kinda disagree about rice and vanderbilt
especially rice....when I visited...it was pretty dang far from the city of Houston.
vanderbilt wasnt really downtown either.
then again that is how i see urban school...in the cities
so it depends on how urban</p>
<p>UCLA at the heart of Los Angeles</p>
<p>zfox-
Not quite sure what you are talking about re: Rice and Vandy- both are in the downtown part of their cities. Rice is acrioss from the major medical centers and a quick hop on the light rail takes you to the absolute heart of downtown. The zoo and museums are walking distance. Similar logistics with Vandy. Rice is across town form the Galleria Mall, if thats what you are referring to, but still not far away. These are LARGE metropolitan cities that have a bit of sprawl to them. But both Rice and Vandy are in the downtown areas of their cities, for sure.</p>
<p>Sorry if I missed a post wherein you specified region but Trinity U in San Antonio and any of the Portland area schools, Reed, Lewis and Clark, U of Portland may fit. University of Puget Sound is another. Second UCLA and would add Cal as well. Berkeley is not a big city but it has a total urban feel and you are minutes from San Francisco</p>
<p>UPenn definitely</p>
