| Can anyone recommend schools that have settings similar to Gtown? A school of 4000 to 15000 undergrads with a real campus within walking distance of a neighborhood that has a lot going on in a major or semi major city? I’m not worried about the ranking and whether DC can be competitive, I just need as a baseline schools that I can investigate. |

WashU is not city adjacent at all. It has a beautiful campus in the suburbs of St. Louis. A good 9 miles by car. I think there is public transportation available to get into the city but it is not located in a city. |

| Check out St. Joseph’s University in Philly - like Georgetown, it is Jesuit. |

DP. Maybe it depends on what one means by "city." Isn't there a train right at campus? Isn't the St. Louis city line right there, at the edge of campus? Aren't there urban areas directly abutting campus on the north side and then on the east side of Forest Park, a level of urbanness where people get concerned about some sketchiness in those spots although the campus itself is very safe? |
