College Search & Lists
1

<p>Hi everyone.
What small/medium (1,600-10,000 students) colleges can be found in the larger cites of the US? Preferably some with school spirit and a traditional campus.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

2

<p>Rice
Trinity University
Tufts
Brandeis</p>

3

<p>Other schools I’ve looked at:
Tulane
GA Tech
Emory
SMU</p>

4

<p>What are you looking to major in and what kind of admissions stats do you have? Because those two factors can weed out a lot of choices</p>

5

<p>I’d like to go onto a legal track, but I also love writing and real service work.
I was thinking of double majoring in Sociology and Journalism. </p>

<p>My stats aren’t great, or much compared to the majority of this board.
WGPA: 3.8 UWGPA: 3.6 SAT: 1740/1160</p>

6

<p>Syracuse University (NY) depending on what “larger city” means to you.</p>

7

<p>Rice
Emory
Tulane
Chicago
to name a few</p>

8

<p>Columbia University if you just include the undergrads (4,500 +1,500 for the FU school). Barnard, if you include women’s colleges. Georgetown (7,000) if you just include undergrads.</p>

<p>In addition to schools listed above, a majority of the Jesuit universities are mid-sized schools with traditional campuses located in cities throughout the country. There is a list below for you to look at. My S went to Fordham (Bronx campus) and had a terrific experience.

<p>University of Puget Sound
Lewis & Clark
Occidental
LMU
Chapman
University of San Diego
University of San Francisco</p>

11

<p>Miami, Boston College and Northwestern jump out as they are in major markets with big-time sports programs. </p>

<p>UCLA and USC might be on the larger side of schools, but they are in LA and have good sports programs (LA isn’t a traditional city, so not sure if it is too spread out for what you are looking for).</p>

<p>A few others that don’t necessarily have the big time sports programs but might still fit in with what you are looking for:
Tufts (not really in the city)
Northeastern
Fordham
Georgetown
Villanova
Temple</p>

12

<p>Not much of a sports school, but Seattle University is nice.</p>

13

<p>Take a look at St Joseph’s in philly, Loyola in Baltimore and CUA and American in DC.
Another option with a nice vibe where you’d qualify for merit ould be Lesley in Boston.</p>

<p>Here’s a search result - 237 schools based on using your size range + city + max CR 640 + Max math score of 640 + your majors
[College</a> Navigator - Search Results](<a href=“College Navigator - Search Results”>College Navigator - Search Results)</p>

<p>You can easily narrow it down by selecting particular states or regions. Also try the CC search tool, it might have more criteria to apply to the search.</p>

<p>Also, what exactly do you mean by “school spirit”? Are you thinking of schools where everyone turns out for the football games?</p>

16

<p>In (Metropolitan) Boston:
Boston College
Tufts
Brandeis</p>

17

<p>Macalester (Twin Cities)
Rhodes (Memphis) since you like Tulane.</p>
