CityNerd | 10 Best Universities for Urbanism In North America: Colleges With Great Transit, Walking and Biking @CityNerd | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This won't be your typical "best universities" list -- rather, these are the best colleges, not necessarily in terms of exclusivity or research grants, but in terms of where you can live, work and study without a car and still live in a great city with lots of urban amenities. In other words: urbanist universities.
We'll look at the university campuses that have great walk and bike scores, but also have strong rail transit connections within their cities, and are sited away from urban freeways. It ends up being a pretty interesting list, and I hope you enjoy!
