[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a high-stats STEM kid looking for the right mix of urban amenities (food, music, culture) and an actual campus to the college. For example, NYU is too urban in the sense that its just a bunch of buildings with a flag that say "NYU". Location is not a factor, but a strong STEM program is needed, and research opps tend to be more plentiful near cities. What do you recommend?

Add my vote for Michigan.  Food (a good mix of unique places and familiar chains), music (a regular stop for college type bands) and culture (as a college town Ann Arbor has more culture than a typical small city).  The nearby Detroit area, as the auto capitol of the US, offers a lot of STEM related research opps in areas directly and indirectly related to the automotive field.  However, the Engineering School is on the north campus, which is a bus ride from the activity on the main campus.  The winter weather can also get a bit depressing. But overall Michigan probably best fits what you are looking for in a school. Good luck and Go Blue![/quote]
