[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big negative is[b] lack of a traditional campus. [/b]Which didn't bother DS at all. It was a little bigger than he wanted but he was applying for the honors program (I forget the name) which apparently came with housing. He didn't wind up there but I'm sure it would have been great.[/quote]

BU's urban campus layout is kind of cool. Definitely not like NYU's where you have to look for one large purple flag to find the campus. There are also some nice green spaces along the Charles River. [/quote]

People often think BU and NYU are the same since they are both located in the city. However, their vibes are entirely different.

BU has a distinctive campus with clearly defined entrance and exit points, more greenery, and a student-centered atmosphere. In contrast, NYU’s campus is less defined and shares Washington Square Park with students, residents, tourists, and homeless individuals.

Despite their differences, I think both schools are true urban universities in the U.S., offering a real city-life experience. 
UChicago may feel less urban but provides a more traditional campus vibe.
I also visited USC and CMU, but they didn’t feel very urban to me.[/quote]
