The Northeast urban trio: NYU, BU, GW

I wouldn’t describe any of these urban schools as having much of a campus feel, so I would visit if you can. But another point to consider is that 60 percent of the people who teach at GW are not faculty. They are adjuncts or professionals who come in to teach a course or two. That is a completely different academic experience than a student would have at a school that had a higher percentage of instructors who are actually faculty.
