Any ideas? Georgetown but not in DC or DMV

ISO a Georgetown that is not actually in Georgetown

Our child did a name-blind matching exercise for colleges and Georgetown is an excellent fit for many academic and social reasons not related to reputation. But we live 20 minutes away from GU.


We've looked at many lists and rankings and asked around, but feels like maybe we're missing something? The high school counselor is useless.

Any ideas on 5-10,000 student schools in or very near major urban area?

Not looking for perfect match. Since there are so many GU alumni in the area, we figure they might have faced a similar situation of looking for GU at a distance.

thx

Are you asking for similar schools to GWU but not in DC? Have you looked at Tulane in New Orleans or Rice University in Houston?

Rice was my immediate thought. Also the Claremont colleges.

Holy Cross in Worcester
Villanova


What is it specifically about Georgetown that made it a good match?

Rice is a great school. Academically rigorous and students are well-rounded. The immediate rice village is also a great place to live. Lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance, a beautiful walking path around the main campus. But it also depends on what your DC intends to study.

I am from Houston and went to Georgetown. I think the two universities (and student bodies) seemed really different on recent tours with my kid.
