<p>H and I visited NYC last spring and took the subway to NYU. We posed for a photo -- and there is grass in it! </p>
<p>I certainly understand the allure of this school.</p>
<p>UQAM = University of Quebec Montreal. It is located in the Latin Quarter and adjacent to the Beaudry neighborhood (aka Gay Village).</p>
<p>UC Berkeley.
I hate it for that.</p>
<p>UMich, no. Wayne State (downtown Detroit), yes.</p>
<p>BU absolutley. It is smack in Boston on Commonwealth Ave just up from Kenmore Square. Warren Towers dorm is on Comm Ave and the T runs right by.
Northeastern. Ditto. The city is your campus.
Emerson, if you are interested in the arts or acting. There is dorm on top of a row of stores on Tremont St....Dunkin Donuts on the ground floor........and is adjacent to the common and the busy theater district.
Carnegie Mellon definitely has a campus with a quad and is backed by a nature preserve and golf course area. Not city up there. It is residential after that.</p>
<p>boston university</p>
<p>Macalester College is in the midst of walkable, groovy St. Paul.</p>
<p>College of Charleston (SC). Its right in the historic district of downtown Charleston. The city is beautiful with all the bars, restaurants, antebellum mansions, historic churches, pricey shopping, palmettos, live oaks and spanish moss you can handle. And the school, which has been there since 1770, is pretty good too.</p>
<p>I second College of Charleston...although theres no skyscrapers you definitely feel like your in a city. Thats the reason why I chose not to go there is because I wanted a more "campus-y" feel.</p>
<p>CU Boulder??? The Hill is probably the "town" which is like a small box of restaurants and stores. If you like NYU, CU Boulder and UMich is def not the places to be.... I can't speak for the other colleges as I have no ties to them whatsoever, however Cooper Union and Fordham are in NY and could be to your taste....</p>
<p>University of the Arts if you are interested in performing, visual and fine arts. The "campus" consists of buildings located directly on the streets of the business/performing arts district in center city Philadelphia.</p>
<p>Perhaps Boston U?</p>
<p>I agree with dis-grace: Harvard doesn't feel urban. The buildings are spread out a LITTLE bit, but the area is so dominated by Harvard. They don't call that part of Cambridge "Harvard Square" for nothing! MIT is in a very different part of Cambridge, right across the river from Boston and nearer to some more interesting (less tony) Cambridge neighborhoods. But I wouldn't say it's out of the door and boom you are in the city. MIT is spead out, but the whole area is "very MIT."</p>
<p>Also, I would say that it really depends on the city. You aren't going to get the same feeling in Boston that you get in New York City. I haven't been to enough cities in my life to know which ones have a real big NYC-like feel, but I wouldn't say Boston is one of them, and I suspect more cities are in the Boston category than are in the NYC category. It depends on how "city" a city you are looking for!</p>
<p>from the schools i have visited BU and university of toronto are the only ones that resemble NYU..the other exemples given here are not in par with NYU.all the schools(or at least most of them) have a campus which we all know is not the case of NYU.Ut austin which i know well, although is located in a urban environment has a "centrified" and defined campus the same for Georgetown, UM, U pitt....</p>
<p>Look no further then Brown.
The school has no real campus.
Your class could be 10 blocks down in some random building.
I mean you can tell it is a college, but the buidlings feel like a city.</p>
<p>BU is also like that.</p>
<p>George Washington University in D.C. is just like NYU, BU and University of Toronto--totally part of the city.</p>
