Did I subconsciously pick schools...

I don’t know where all this hating on NYU is coming from, but it kind of makes sense if the OP wants to do Urban Planning as it is in the middle of one of the largest if not the largest urban areas in the nation (LA for physical size?).

Anyways, I don’t think it’s a problem that you might have subconsciously picked away from your home state. If you are more comfortable somewhere else than it’s better to go with that than with your home state if you aren’t going to be happy there.

Just a note, the overwhelming majority of schools are liberal, due to the nature of higher education. Also, urban areas tend to be more liberal than rural areas which would stand to reason that universities of a more liberal persuasion have urban studies programs. That sounded awfully like a gross generalization but I doubt I’m entirely wrong about that.
