I saw Pitt mentioned above. Pittsburgh is a great small city and the school is embedded in the city like BU or NYU.
They like high stat kids. Lots of majors. And it’s mid-sized for a public.
Has a real downtown. Has many great neighborhoods with different character. Great museums and art. Warhol, Carnegie, Frick etc. A lot of young people with all the training hospitals and companies like Google and Duolingo.
The honors college has a great dorm (though up a hill) and you can do as much or as little as you want with the honors program
