Environmental Policy Undergrads - Public Universities that won't mind a second degree student

I’m looking for college suggestions for an Environmental Policy undergrads, and eventual masters. I’m a vet, so public universities are best for me (woo GI Bill). I have an undergrad in Political Science already and I work in the federal government, so I’d really like a big urban area in the North East that could get me close to DC.

Any thoughts? I’ve been out of school since before I got into the service, so it’s been about a decade since I’ve looked at anything seriously. I’m noticing that a lot of colleges hate second degree students, even when you don’t need financial aid.
