| Campus in the city?
I'm looking for schools with campuses(meaning not like BU/NYU where there really isn't one) in or very near the city, kind of like Columbia or in some sense Brown. I'd prefer them to be in the northeast/mid atlantic or possibly the more liberal midwestern cities like Chicago.
Reaches and especially matches/safeties are all appreciated.
Stats: PSAT - 221, haven't gotten SAT scores yet, I'm hoping they'll be a little higher. 3.9 GPA...

I'll admit my bias as an alum, but look at Johns Hopkins. I think it has one of the most (if not the most) beautiful urban campuses--and the academics are as good as you'll find anywhere. The campus is green and woodsy--even though it is in the middle of a large city.

Upenn is a very city campus, but has a campus feel nonetheless. UChicago doesn't have a city feel but has downtown not far away.

Seconding Fordham! It's a great school. American is too.
Also look at: U Rochester (excellent match school), Sarah Lawrence (great LAC just outside of the city), UMD College Park (a good safety by DC), Rice (don't let the location fool you; it's really liberal).

AND I JUST REMEMBERED BARNARD. If Columbia is your cup of tea (and you're female), their sister school is a great option.

Although it's West Coast, I recommend taking a look at USC. Located in Los Angeles, near downtown, it has a beautiful campus.
