<p>McGill... downtown Montreal is as urban as you can get.</p>
<p>NYU is the most Urban school you can get. It is literally a part of New York City, and all in separate buildings, so you actually can't tell what is a dorm, what is a classroom, and what is an independent business.</p>
<p>George Washington is one. If you want an Ivy League school in the city, both Harvard and Columbia are (although they have their own distinct campuses still). UCLA has the city a few blocks away.</p>
<p>Some people have said schools like Macalester here...that may be in an urban area, but it's not real urban. American is in the suburbs. So, I think you need to visit any school before you decide on it...because a lot of the ones people are saying here aren't true Urban schools where they fit with the city, they just say that on their brochures and on websites to attract students.</p>
<p>"If you want an Ivy League school in the city, both Harvard and Columbia are"</p>
<p>Um... The University of Pennsylvania is where... :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Also, I think the OP was looking for less selective schools.</p>
<p>USC, Rice, Duke, Holy Cross, Brown, Trinity College, Georgetown.</p>
<p>duke is urban?</p>
<p>Boston College is not a 100% urban campus; nor is Northwestern. Both are located in suburbs at least 20 minutes outside of a big city.</p>
<p>Ditto on UT-Dallas. It's hard to imagine a more suburban campus. It's not even in Dallas. </p>
<p>SMU, a school well within OP's reach, is much more of an urban campus. It's in a suburb completely surrounded by Dallas, and only 2 miles outside of heart of downtown.</p>
<p>Late post, but just in case someone follows this thread in the future:</p>
<p>I haven't seen NYU, but I can't imagine any campus more "urban" feeling than U of Illinois-Chicago (formerly Chicago Circle). Some good programs, too.</p>
