[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends how far down the list you want to go. And whether it has to be directly downtown.

Loyola Marymount and Chapman come to mind near LA

There are so many schools with access to NYC. Hofstra and Adelphi are on train lines. Could also consider places like Pace or even Hunter in Manhattan.

My kid chose a school that had train access just steps off campus to Boston-it’s not really good enough for this list, but just saying, there are schools of all kinds with access to cities.

Chapman is not in LA, it's in Orange county. Oxy and Loyola Marymount are in LA and probably fit the bill for what OP is looking for.[/quote]

That’s a silly way to look at it. That’s like saying northwestern isn’t in Chicago or Villanova isn’t in Philly. [/quote]

Northwestern isn’t in Chicago.  It’s in Evanston.[/quote]

I know. Same with Villanova. But to most people it’s Chicago/philly. They’re both less than 15 miles from downtown.[/quote]

15 miles to downtown isn’t remotely the same.  If you can’t walk down the street or take a short Uber (or bus or subway) to get to cool neighborhoods, then it’s not the city.

Evanston feels closer because it’s right on the subway.  Villanova is definitely further out…nobody who attends says they are in Philly and many students barely go into Philly.  It’s a 45 minute ride via public transport.

Someone mentioned Drexel which is really what OP is talking about.[/quote]

+1 Similar for SMU. It’s in the suburbs. [/quote]
