wow, good job. I just learned that most people don't know that dumb is spelled with a B. |
+1, also wouldn’t call Yale a very inviting place. Tours won’t even let you in a residential college and each one has massive gates to make sure you are not allowed in. How is that inviting? |
They spelled it with a b… |
our dear leader just learned this |
Toured Princeton recently - stunning campus/adorable adjacent town. At the time I thought - this reminds me of Cambridge. So - equivalent in attractiveness imo (except Cambridge has the nearby river) |
My DS loves it. Even so, I’m not sure I would call it beautiful. |

There are many beautiful smaller schools in the U.S.: Sewanee, Wellesley, Vassar, Mount Holyoke, Richmond, U San Diego, Scripps, Middlebury, etc.
For nice mid-size, I would say Princeton, Duke, Notre Dame, William and Mary, Dartmouth. (I haven't seen a number like WashU.) Larger schools often have spectacular part, but are more likely to have more not-so-nice areas than smaller schools. The University of Washington, Indiana University, CU Boulder, UCLA, and Berkeley are quite nice in my opinion. I have heard other schools like Ole Miss and Kansas State are nice, but I haven't seen them. |
The "vibe" of NYU is urban, concrete, and rats. Enjoy!

Sounds like Georgetown. |
| Faber College |
Seriously who prefers drinking in the middle of nowhere vibe. |
Obviously a lot of people, since Sewanee and Kenyon make nearly every one of these lists and NYU makes none of them. |
Curiously, Sewanee and Kenyon don't make any lists of best urban universities in the US either. The college equivalent of comparing Arsenal to the San Antonio Spurs. |
My kid loved drinking around the Notre Dame campus....middle of nowhere, but vibrant and fun. He looked to places like Northeastern and didn't like how disjointed the campus was. |
Some kids just aren’t vigilant enough to live in a city. |
