Yet another vote for U of MN, which has a highly ranked ChemE program. Campus is well kept, and while big in general, the Science and Engineering buildings are grouped together in a convenient part of campus, very near the student union, Art gallery, Mississippi River, University village, residences, and LRT.

I know for a fact that MN is giving significant merit aid to high stat, OOS students, though what constitutes high stats for ChemE applicants (it’s strongest program) I’m not sure.

Really the only downside is the cold winter, IMO. LRT also takes you to the airport, and there are direct flight to just about every major city, and some minor ones, on the continent.

S2 chose MN over Purdue and WI. Just didn’t mesh with the rah rah sports, and busy streets of WI. Really liked Purdue, but after really digging into it, felt that the support and teaching would be better at MN. Great ENG school, though. MN just ticked a lot of boxes, but he doesn’t mind the winter…it’s long!
