I’m looking for a school that’s in a city (or reasonably close to a city) with a well defined campus. For example, NYU is in a city, but it does not have a typical campus feel. Northwestern has easy access to Chicago and Brown is “bubble” within Providence. Any other suggestions?
Johns Hopkins
Northeastern
Georgetown
USC (CA)
UCLA
University of Minnesota
You mean like any of these?

Definitely Columbia. Gorgeous self-inclosed campus in Manhattan – nothing like NYU.
University of Pennsylvania (spills over a bit, but main academic area is very well defined)
Carnegie Mellon University
University of Cincinnati
American University in DC
Second Columbia. It is picture postcard perfect.
Also add Rice, UChicago, and WashU.
Loyola - Baltimore
U of Denver
Really, almost any city will have schools that have campuses, but you need to tell us size you are looking for, how selective, area of the country, size of the city. BC in Boston is going to be very different than Colorado College in Colorado Springs.
For that matter, BC is not really in Boston.
^^technically, ~half of BC’s campus is inside the Boston City limits, but it is in a much more of a residential part of the City.
Ohio State
Columbia, Northeastern, Case Western, American, Rochester, Emory. Last two are not downtown but have easy access. Pittsburgh is a mix—spills into the city but has areas that are campus-like. George Mason is in a near suburb of DC.
Georgia Tech
Emory
Syracuse
SMU, Tulane, Reed, University of Miami, GT,
Rice
Not sure how much “city” you want.
Tulane, Macalester, Vanderbilt, Richmond, U Minnesota, Ohio State, UC Berkeley, many many others
Saint Louis University, Duquesne
Drexel, U of South Carolina, Marquette,Loyola Chicago
Carnegie Mellon.
Georgetown
American
(but not George Washington unless you like a satellite campus)
Tufts
all the urban Ivies
Vassar (if you think Poughkeepsie is a city - NY says it is)
Fordham
Vanderbilt
Rice
and about a zillion others!
