[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ones that didn't make my personal cut, based on recent tours:
Penn and Drexel
NYU

Pleasantly surprised by:
UConn
Syracuse

I guess we don't like urban, since they don't really have much of a campus--buildings are sort of all over the place.[/quote]

If you don't like urban, that's definitely your perogative. But Penn and NYU aren't so bad these days, at least for urban campuses. Penn used to be HORRIBLE - I know, I went there. Today, Penn is much less dangerous than it used to be and many nice stores and boutiques have sprouted up around it. Like many urban campuses, it's never going to be crime-free or even low-crime, though. Temple, in another part of Philadelphia, has barbed wire around the dorms. I love Philadelphia, but it's an "emerging" city, shall we say.[/quote]

Penn area is not nice at all.  Philly schools are all in bad neighborhoods. Boston, DC, NYC, Pittsburgh all have schools in better areas than Philly. [/quote]

"Nice" is subjective. If you want an urban school, you might find Penn at least as "nice" as NYU or Columbia.  Yes, I've been to all three recently.[/quote]
