Are you looking for engineering or a particular major? Is cost an issue?

Many of the smaller WI public schools would meet your criteria, depending on their strength in your preferred major: UW-LaCrosse, Eau Claire, Stevens Point, Oshkosh. You should have no trouble getting into any of them. Stout and Platteville are well-known for engineering, but they aren’t what I would call urban/suburban, more “very small town.”

UW-Milwaukee has great programs an is in a terrific city, too. It’s a less traditional university (many returning students and commuters) but offers a lot of opportunities and is pretty much a guaranteed admission for you.

Private schools tend to be smaller than what you say you want. You might want to look at at Carroll University near Milwaukee. Also, with your stats don’t discount the merit aid you might get at out-of-state publics or private schools in general.

I can’t speak for the MN schools. Good luck!
