<p>Instead of wanting a university in a city without a campus... I was wondering if people could help me make a list of schools located in (or really close to) a city, but has a distinct campus. </p>
<p>I'm thinking something like University of Chicago, where you know you're on campus. </p>
<p>It doesn't have to be a huge city. A school in, say, Minneapolis would be good enough.</p>
<p>Rice. Northwestern is also pretty good.</p>
<p>The San Antonio schools all have distinct campuses. Trinity University is about a 10 minute drive to downtown and has a very pretty campus overlooking downtown. University of Incarnate Word is just a little farther from downtown and has a beautiful large chapel on campus. The other San Antonio colleges, St. Mary's, Our Lady of the Lake and UTSA all have distinct campuses but they are farther away from downtown.</p>
<p>Columbia and Fordham</p>
<p>Here are a few schools that do have a traditional college campus with lots of greenery and campus life but located in major cities or other urban locations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Emory University: Atlanta, Georgia</li>
<li>Boston College: Chestnut Hill, Ma/Greater Boston</li>
<li>Northwestern: Chicago</li>
<li>University of Texas: Austin, Texas</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>University of Miami: Coral Gables, FL/ Greater Miami</li>
<li>Tulane: New Orleans</li>
<li>Ohio State: Columbus, Ohio</li>
<li>UMichigan: Ann Arbor/Greater Detroit</li>
<li>Arizona State: Phoenix</li>
</ul>
<p>case western-cleveland</p>
<p>also Tufts and Hopkins have a good campus/neighborhood/city balance, and I've heard WashU too.</p>
<p>Chicago's quads are very, very small, and they're almost all academic buildings. "Campus" includes those quads, but extends to the dorms, science quads, etc. which feel much more non-campusy.</p>
<p>University of Minnesota - in Minneapolis!</p>
<p>The campus is distinct, but you are right in the middle of the city. It's located in a safe area too.</p>
<p>Berkeley </p>
<p>Distinct campus in true college town environment. San Francisco is accessible via BART (subway).</p>
<p>Penn- Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet. Also Vanderbilt- in the greatest city there is!</p>
<p>UCI. irvine is the best city in the world, right next to newport beach, clean, affluent, great shopping malls, good food, nice campus, etc</p>
<p>"Also Vanderbilt- in the greatest city there is!"</p>
<p>Totally Agree ;)</p>
<p>also is there any certain size city you're looking for?</p>
<p>^ vanderbilt?? man i dont like that city in which vanderbilt is located in. vanderbilt chicks are fine but man i cant see myself living there for 4 yrs</p>
<p>^ Haha...and Irvine is "the best city in the world"?! I guess if you like bland, boring, cookie cutter, gate-guarded subdivisions...yep, it's wonderful. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>University of Washington</p>
<p>yeah irvine is so awesome, my home town. dont be jealous. we got the best in n out of anywhere</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins...</p>
<p>Irvine is a planned city. That just screams boring and artificial. :)</p>
<p>Georgetown. Occidental, Macalaster, Barnard are LACs that fit this. Reed and Leiw and Clark are very close to Portland, as well.</p>
<p>Steve- Nashville is the ideal city. I've been here for 2 years, and my daughter (Rice grad) and her husband (medical resident at Vandy) just moved here in May and like everything about it. The students have a great time- the music scene is amazing (all types- not just country), the climate is good, outdoor activities abound, SEC sports........easy transportation to other cities.....what more could you want?</p>
