Ann Arbor, Madison, and Cambridge would all be great choices.

Agreed. Another great option.

Not really 15 minutes from downtown, but easy/cheap access to downtown and campus is in the city. Research ops have been amazing for my kid. Very challenging academics, so he’s gotta want that. Campus is beautiful — ice skating rink, student-run daily film series, arts center, theater company, museums, hospital all right there. Excellent bookstores, bakeries/cafes on or adjacent to campus, nice lakefront park within easy walking distance.

What kind of STEM? (Only type of engineering they offer is molecular). But very strong math, CS, bio, chem, physics.

LOL stop.

Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute - might be less than your DC wants on urban amenities, but lovely campus and engineering is basically what they do.

Minnesota.

Fordham University is known for having a beautiful contained campus within the city.

It's in the Bronx. Who wants to be in the Bronx? Also, the school is very cliquey--fed mainly by Westchester Co. and a couple Boston catholic schools. Not the diverse university you would hope for.

Penn isn't on the outskirts of Philly. It's right in the middle.

My engineering student at Michigan had internships at Microsoft in Redmond, WA, a startup in Chicago, and will co-op at Dell in Austin this fall.

Where do they co-op locally? Most students don’t travel to co-op. It is too costly and lonely. That is why most co-op schools are urban.

Google has a big, and expanding, presence in AA. There are a lot of startups there as well. And Detroit has Quicken and a number of other emerging/tech companies.

Is Dell still around?

I know you're trying to be cute and funny but you're just showing your ignorance. Yes, Dell is still around.

Umm #41 on the Fortune 500.

Northwestern. Pretty campus right by the lake. Good STEM/Engineering school. Chicago has great options.

Seriously. It was "Slumerville" when I lived there. No more!
