Very sorry to say this. My bc absolutely loved RPI, but the thought of living in Troy was the deal breaker.

New Haven and College Park

Baltimore for safety

Might not be exciting, but Hamilton campus is great and you won’t get attacked on or off campus!

Went to college at AU in the 80s and we partied on campus, off campus and in Georgetown. Fantastic location

Savannah....fun for parents weekend but not so great for student safety.

Carlisle, PA....felt a bit dumpy and boring

The Bronx....just did accepted students day at Fordham and didn't feel super comfortable walking around the streets outside of Rose Hill campus (but had a tasty Italian lunch!). Would actually feel safer having my kid at the Lincoln Center location

LOL, so every major metro in the USA. Ithaca it is!


I really disliked Ithaca when we visited. The region is decent, but the town? Blech
