<p>I really want to go to college in an urban area with a lot of other colleges in the same vicinity. What are the best college cities?</p>

<p>I think Boston and Philadelphia have the most colleges in their metropolitan areas. And they’re great college towns. But any college in an urban area will do, won’t it? You can take your SAT and go to this website. It will give you some idea where your 1840 fits with other schools in the a state.</p>

<p>Wash D.C.</p>

4

<p>New York, LA, Amherst (kinda), Boston, Philly</p>

5

<p>Pittsburgh</p>

6

<p>Boston and Washington DC were the ones that I instantly thought of but Philly would be included too. </p>

7

<p>Boston and Philly metro areas both have around 50 four year schools, and close to 30 inside the city limits. </p>

8

<p>Atlanta.
GSU, Tech, Morehouse, Spellman, Agnes Scott, Emory, Clark Atlanta, and more are all fairly close together. Many businesses take advantage of the schools’ proximity towards one another. </p>

<p>I’d also add in NYC which has Columbia, Barnard, NYU, Fordham, Manhattan, Pacd, St. Johns, CUNY schools, FIT, Parsons, Cooper Union, Pratt, and more. The city has a lot to offer college students (and a number of cheap/free activities are available). </p>

10

<p>Pretty much any significant population center (city) will have proportional higher education within/nearby. Serioulsy, name the city and discover the colleges.</p>

11

<p>Boston is #1</p>

<p>Ian Faith: The Boston gig has been cancelled…
David St. Hubbins: What?
Ian Faith: Yeah. I wouldn’t worry about it though, it’s not a big college town.</p>

13

<p>Philly is more affordable for young people than some other top cities. </p>
