There are not many schools that fit a criteria of Top 50 school AND urban scene. State College and Iowa City are not booming metro meccas, and neither is Ithaca, NY. I guess you could kind of argue Chapel Hill/Durham is an oasis in NC?
NYU, Stanford, UT Austin, etc. are few and far between. Even Miami (FL) is #55 so wouldn't meet this criteria, and it's a fantastic school.
