I grew up minutes from this campus. It isn’t remotely urban. People saying it is must not have been to the Park Cities.

It's pretty much 5 minutes from Uptown. You can also hop on the train easily. It's pretty urban, Highland Park is just a nice residential neighborhood.

They are close to the city but not really in the city.

It’s not suburbia???! It’s a wealthy area of Dallas and like 10 minutes to Uptown and Deep Ellum. If you define urban as the the Village and LES of NYC then all of Dallas is not urban

U. Toronto main campus in downtown Toronto has this. Sometimes this is called the “St George” campus.

USC is suburbia
NYU does not have a campus feel
GWU doesn't really either but way more than NYU
No idea about NE.
BU sort of
Emory is the burbs.
SMU. Hmm, I think this fits the bill but I still don't think of Dallas as super urban like NYC.

BU does not have actual campus.
NYU feels more cohesive with Washington Square in the center. Definitely better vibe.
Colleges in NYC and Boston >>> any other city

Yeah, when we toured, it seemed pretty urban to us. The school is parallel to a highway and is very much integrated into Dallas, while also being in a ridiculously wealthy enclave.

You are probably confused with Boston Univ.

Northeastern has actual cohesive campus in actual 'city'
That's an advantage over other Boston schools like Tufts, BU, Bc.

To me, NYU is a city campus. It is about energy. SMU is not even close to that. Very suburban, proximity to Deep Ellum aside.

No darling. USC (the real one) is smack in the middle of Los Angeles. Now we can disregard all your other opinions bc of the nitwit you have demonstrated yourself to be.

I accept my lashes. I was thinking of UCLA.

OP here. Appreciate everyone who responded. I should have clarified. We visited the Rose Hill campus in the Bronx. As someone pointed out, you’re right, it’s not right in the city but you can catch a train just steps from the campus and they have a school shuttle that takes you to the Lincoln Center campus. What DS likes about it is that the campus is self contained. Other than the occasional sirens and honking the way the campus is laid out you would think you were at a SLAC in PA. But right outside you get the hustle and bustle of city life. You have the botanical garden on on side and the Bronx on the other.

I don’t think NYU fits in this category because it’s integrated with the city.

OP specifically asked about a traditional feel within a city. SMU is this, even if Dallas isn't NY.

I agree though that these sprawling midwestern-ish cities are not the same urban vibe as NY, Boston, etc.
