Why do people keep saying, Emery? Have you ever actually tried to walk outside of the campus with your own feet and get anywhere?

Emory is in between. There’s BU, but that’s very urban. More than Gtown. Northeastern might fit the bill.

Chicago is not ideal in the sense that it takes some effort to get to the part of the city students would want to explore. Might as well go to Northwestern.

WashU is not city adjacent at all. It has a beautiful campus in the suburbs of St. Louis. A good 9 miles by car. I think there is public transportation available to get into the city but it is not located in a city.


OP asked for walkable to a “neighborhood” which WashU is to all of the West End. Even Delmar Loop which is hipster central is less than a mile so a longish walk or a short Uber.

DTStL is not exactly an evening destination anyway. Unless there is a Cardinals game it’s dead after 6 pm.

Same, and I graduated from Georgetown. I was impressed with American.

Unfortunately Emory is not walkable to anything. Georgia Tech is in a more walkable part of Atlanta. But the city overall isn’t really a walking city. This was disappointing when we visited.

The type of student body, and where it is in relation to the rest of Atlanta, make it similar. Also, the Georgetown neighborhood is walkable but getting there from the school is a trek, crossing busy roads and bridges.

Tulane isn’t really in walking distance to the Garden District.

DP. Maybe it depends on what one means by "city." Isn't there a train right at campus? Isn't the St. Louis city line right there, at the edge of campus?

Aren't there urban areas directly abutting campus on the north side and then on the east side of Forest Park, a level of urbanness where people get concerned about some sketchiness in those spots although the campus itself is very safe?


Perhaps you can visit the WashU campus to see if I am wrong but when we toured and walked the beautiful campus we found it to be solidly amid suburbia and miles from anything urban-like. Really (really!) great BBQ restaurants nearby on a "college-town" like street that sits just off campus but not urban in any way.


NP: isn’t that the Del Mar loop? Is it just one street?
