<p>@pf5,</p>
<p>I attended The Ohio State University. I believe that of all the schools mentioned above, TOSU is the most diverse and selective. In addition, based on various ranking metrics, Ohio State is the highest ranked and currently one of the most improved public schools in America. Have said that, I should also point out that Columbus is the largest city, followed by Minneapolis-St. Paul (largest metro) and Binghamton, NY. Please keep in mind that I am an alumnus of Ohio State, so my comment might be somewhat biased. </p>
<p>Location-wise, Binghamton, NY is probably the most undesirable if you are an urban living kind of person, the city is small (47,000 population) and is located roughly 3~4 hours of driving pending on the traffic to NYC. And while, Minnesota is located in a large enough city, the diverse is severely lacking imho and above all, the weather is even colder than Binghamton. So, unless you are from Canada or some colder climate, I would suggest either Pittsburgh or Columbus. Pittsburgh is artsy in my opinion with a slight European / Eastern vibe due to its cultural diversity and hilly topography. However, it is still recovering from economic woe as a yesteryear steel city (although biotech and shale oil industries are currently making gains). Without getting into more details, I would strongly suggest Ohio State at Columbus, OH above all the other locations and schools as the city is currently booming in all sectors and large enough to provide the needs for the future job market. </p>
