Emory has about 5500 undergrads 5000 grad students - with 500 undergrads out at the Oxford College campus in Oxford, GA. Students at Oxford do two years out there and then finish their four years at Emory. I wouldn't call the main campus urban though - certainly not compared to Ga Tech. Of you saw the movie "Driving Miss Daisy" - the road they keep driving down ends at Emory's Fraternity Row.
You can also always go to a small school and do a summer NSF Research in Education for Undergraduate Summer program fellowship at a bigger school to do your research.
Of course I'm going to plug U of M. The political science department, of which I am a proud graduate, is one of the best in the country, so even if he doesn't major in it, he can benefit from it. I never felt like it was such a huge school--even in my largest lecture class that had over 500 people in it.
My parents went to Oberlin. Wonderful school.
There's also Lawrence here in WI. It has a great reputation as a smaller liberal arts school.
