[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most mid-sized schools are Catholic or Jesuit.  I saw someone suggested Miami and Tulane, but those aren't urban...not really.  They are in cities, but have well defined campuses and are are separated from the more urban areas.  For example, in Boston, BU is urban, BC is not.  Miami and Tulane are like BC.[/quote]

I disagree. Tulane is urban. Is it in a gritty area? No. But it is still urban.[/quote]

I agree, Tulane is urban. We visited of the campuses listed here like Drexel, Tulane, Fordham (Rose Hill), Charleston, Ohio State (I know this is a huge school) and others. The difference with Tulane, Fordham (Rose Hill Campus), and Ohio State was that they have defined campuses. You could tell when you were on campus and when you weren't. With Drexel it was hard to tell if a building was part of Drexel, Penn, or a commercial property. Charleston blended with the city a little bit more but also felt like it's own distinct campus. This might be something your student might want to think about. All of these campuses were walkable to shops, restaurants, entertainment, and public transportation.

Another school I haven't seen mentioned here is Stevens Institute of Technology (https://www.stevens.edu).[/quote]
