I came to say The Ohio State University too. I’m surprised that this school doesn’t come up more often. The campus is traditional and beautiful. Unlike other city schools, like UPenn and NYU, you know when you are on and off campus but you can still walk across the street and be in the middle of the city.

I guess it depends on what a traditional campus looks like? Like UVA??

Yes, it's a cool design, built into and on top of a cliff overlooking the city and river.

If Dallas isn't a city on this thread, Colorado springs is a rural village. There's very little to do in Colorado Springs and it is super small.


Agree! Smdh at morons on this thread claiming Dallas isn’t a city.

Haverford is a nice campus and not that far from Philly. Same for Sarah Lawrence to NYC.

As someone pointed out, you’re right, it’s not right in the city but you can catch a train just steps from the campus and they have a school shuttle that takes you to the Lincoln Center campus. What DS likes about it is that the campus is self contained. Other than the occasional sirens and honking the way the campus is laid out you would think you were at a SLAC in PA. But right outside you get the hustle and bustle of city life. You have the botanical garden on on side and the Bronx on the other.

I don’t think NYU fits in this category because it’s integrated with the city.


Definitely Boston College.

Case is in a city but not a traditional campus feel. It’s definitely urban, like Boston University compared to Boston College.

IDK what OP means by traditional campus feel. If you mean a self contained campus, that's a no for both Harvard and Yale. Both campuses are lovely, but they are intertwined with their respective urban environments, and you walk on city streets to get from place to place on campus. They are not separate and apart.

Both are beautiful and still feel very traditional. And there are large areas on the campuses that are apart from their cities. This includes Harvard Yard and Yale's Old Campus. Also the houses at Harvard and the residential colleges at Yale have enclosed courtyards.

Bucknell! Lewisburg is the New York of Pennsylvania and students flock from all cosmopolitan areas to go from Bucknell to The Street.
