I'm a domestic applicant (with U.S. citizenship), but my family will stay in a different country while I'm in college, so I would prefer a safe environment with a location in which I can get the minimum supplies I need by myself, and it would be the best if there is a solid campus-town. I'm currently considering BS/MD or pre-med paths. Are there any universities/colleges that would suit me with these conditions?

College/university in safe environment with a solid pre-med path or BS/MD program.
