UW campus. You won’t be spending much time on busy streets except if you choose housing on the city side and need to get into campus. You don’t need to party, either. You should spend a day on campus during the semester- crowds only when going between classes. NOT a “crowded campus” you need to see the lakeshore path and housing, go out to Picnic Point, all part of the contiguous campus.

Minn, Wis and Mich comparable academically and all public. Northwestern private- totally different atmosphere in that respect. Be sure to ask about other schools on their forums and websites.

Sounds like you are in the lucky position of needing to make choices. Good advice from Sindar. Put in a refundable deposit at your favorite school of the three you have been accepted at by any deadlines. Then take a break from the college admissions process and relax until spring. Then you can reevaluate and make your final decision.

Please note- Minn does dorm assignment choices based on date of application to them so if you think you want Minn get that task done sooner. You need to send UW Res Halls a request for a deposit refund in addition to asking (in writing) UW, the school, for a refund if you choose not to attend. For every school read the fine print for the school and for housing- it can vary from place to place.

Ultimately you have to pick one place. All good choices as unversities, it may come down to your chances of majoring in Biomedical engineering or your gut feelings about campuses. It may come down to something seemingly silly, but you will do fine.
