[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SMU in Dallas - beautiful campus in an upscale and safe neighborhood.

It's a 3-hour flight to Dallas from DC, and there are lots of flights to/from Dallas Love Field and DFW airport.  (Both American Airlines and Southwest Airlines have hubs there.)

Also, it's kind of a nice size, in that it's a bit larger than many private colleges.  It has a total enrollment of 11,000 (of which 7,000 are undergraduate students).

SMU does have a fairly unique placement geographically — [b]don’t really know of other schools that are in a neighborhood that nice that is just a few miles from the downtown of a major city[/b].  The Park Cities and the Campus have their own police forces and the area is also covered by Dallas police. A student told me that they knew someone who pulled the alarm on an emergency box on campus and police from all three jurisdictions showed up. [/quote]
There are several others
Boston College, most obviously, with the city line running through campus, easy public transportation, fancy homes surrounding the suburban side
Northwestern
Brown
Rice
Emory
Vandy
Villanova
Tufts (Medford isn't quite as nice as Newton) and most of the other schools in the Boston suburbs (Brandeis etc)
