<p>It’s great to be living in Manhattan, Boston and some other big cities, in the midst of it all as a student. Much more fun than when you are living hand to mouth on your own. My son did not seem to be a city type as he has had NYC in his back yard for years, but he felt that the enclosed campus in the middle of no where felt confining to him. He loves being a student in city where the businesses events do cater to you. He feels privileged in getting to enjoy both worlds </p>
<p>I do agree though that when you can’t much afford it and so many of your fellow students can, it can sting. But that’s the case in the enclosed campuses too </p>
<p>Also enclosed campuses in or near a city are a whole other thing from schools like GW, BU, Pitt, NYU that are right in the middle of things. You live in a dorm in an enclosed campus it could be located anywhere.</p>
