<p>I'm really in love with the "walk out of the dorm straight onto city streets" feel of NYU. Outside of NYU and BU (my #1 choice at the moment) have this type of campus (or lack thereof =D).</p>
<p>Pay no attention to the academics of the school (even though some insight would be wonderful), I'm not a slave to uber-prestigous universities.</p>
<p>UT is smack dab in the heart of Austin.</p>
<p>Northeastern, to an extent. There is a campus, but most NEU students live in housing where they "walk out of the dorm straight onto city streets."</p>
<p>university of pittsburgh</p>
<p>Business majors at Loyola (communication as well) and DePaul can live and study beside skyscrapers downtown.</p>
<p>Another that comes to mind is George Washington, but there's no skyscrapers in DC.</p>
<p>Definitely GW. Right in the middle of DC just a few blocks from Capitol Hill.</p>
<p>University of Pennsylvania to some extent however they are a little more "integrated" into the city.</p>
<p>thanks for the replys so far, everyone. Keep 'em coming.</p>
<p>Penn has a distinctive campus and isn't what the OP is describing. Drexel maybe- but ewwww.</p>
<p>One more Chicago school: the U of Illinois-Chicago has exactly the feel you are describing.</p>
<p>Marquette U in Milwaukee has a more well-defined campus, but it might be said to fill the bill, too.</p>
<p>I'll second Pitt. It's not in downtown Pittsburgh, but Oakland is a pretty decent area for college kids. Lots of cheap restaurants with good food, plenty of bars (cheap dive bars, nice upscale bars, and even some clubs), and a decent public transportation system. With just a semi-quick bus ride you can be downtown or in the semi-suburbs of Squirrel Hill or the trendy shops of Shadyside.</p>
<p>Yeah, I''d say Marquette would work. It definitely doesn't have a well-defined 'campus'.</p>
<p>DePaul is more integrated into the city than U T Austin.</p>
<p>GW is so cool - there is no central quad, but if the kids want to play frisbee, they go down to the nearest field or large patch of lawn: The Lincoln Memorial.</p>
<p>GaTech is just as you describe, right in the heart of Atlanta. Academically, its focused on engineering</p>
<p>Loyola University of Chicago; the Lake Shore campus.</p>
<p>VCU in Richmond, VA. Best for art, medical-related majors.</p>
<p>Seattle University fits your "urban, almost no campus" criteria. Also, University of Washington to some degree. UW has a beautiful campus, but some of the dorms do not face the campus. And urban life is just a short walk from the middle of the campus, anyway.</p>
<p>HKK aka Houstanic Community College fits the bill.</p>
<p>I second George Washington. It's not to the same degree as BU (it has its own area of several blocks of DC and doesn't have the busy street running through the middle of campus like BU), but it's right in the heart of DC.</p>
