@interesteddad: Yeah, that’s kind of the problem. For example, especially on the West Coast, a lot of “cities” are really spread out, and it’s basically a gigantic suburb…what would that qualify as? Is there any resource that goes into a little more detail than just classifying a campus as urban, suburban, and rural. I know a visit will be better than any description, but I can’t visit all the schools I’m interested in…
