What are good, more urban LACs? Doesn’t have to be DC level urban, just in a decently sized city.

Fantastic school if you want to study the classics and get a PHD or go one to law or Philosophy.

Swarthmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr are all an easy 15 minute train ride into center city Philadelphia.

Claremont colleges in California. Reed in Portland. Colorado College, if you consider Colo Springs "urban." Univ of Richmond. Occidental. Trinity in Hartford.

This makes them suburban.

Yes -- these are all great schools, but they feel totally suburban. My nephew, a born and bred New Yorker, just graduated from Swarthmore. He loved it, but has said that very few students do much at all in Philly.

Maybe Occidental in LA? I don't know the school or city well enough, but maybe someone else can comment.
