I'm a sophomore CS student at
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, which is one of the largest research universities in the country. Just about all of our engineering or technical programs are highly ranked, and we have a very large FIRST presence here-- both with
GOFIRST (which both builds robots of our own and does a lot of outreach to local teams) and the many on-campus FIRST related events held here (two regionals, kickoffs for FRC and FTC, volunteer trainings and team workshops).
We're also very affordable, whether you're from in state or out of state, and the Twin Cities are fantastic, even if it is cold here for a decent chunk of the year. Definitely take a look at us and feel free to PM me with any questions.
