Minnesota, far and away.

Depends on which type. Probably Illinois, but school rank isn't important when applying for engr jobs. Like at all.
Visit the schools and decide which one you like the best.

Do you live in one of these states? If so, go to that one. If not, why is the Big 10 so important?

Illinois is only best for electrical/computer. Then you want minnesota for chemical, Wisconsin for biomedical and Michigan for everything else

I'm in Madison and all of our engineering majors are total retards, so not here.

dude im applying there for grad school, not engineering though
hows the campus like, do you like? is it suburban and woodsy? whats the acceptance rate (kek)?

Purdue is really good at preparing for industry but not the best if you want to go into research.

Only our pure engineering majors are retarded, with the exception of computer engineering majors, who are fine. Also engineering + science majors are alright. It's just the "hurr durr I'm in school for mekanikul engunerring" people who are insufferable. Rest of the STEM is fine.
Most of the campus is in the city but it's like a small city... It's the epitome of a college town I guess. It's not like downtown NY city but it's not like suburban either. Some of the campus is kinda woodsy though, but most of the buildings there are dorms rather than academic buildings so you probably won't run into that part if you're a grad student.
To my knowledge they accept people based on your character. I'm only an undergrad but I know some people from my high school that had 4.0s, 30+ ACT scores that didn't get in because they sounded disinterested in their essays and didn't really bother to make themselves look worthwhile. I also know a physics grad student who managed to get in without any prior research experience, all because he met some people and made a good impression. So if all you got it a good personality, then you're looking good.

why even go to a school where the only thing you can do off campus is volunteer to harvest corn
everything east of washington/oregon/california and west of PA is screamin' memes

Iowa here. We drink a lot. There's plenty to do once you're """21."""
The women are attractive. 9/10 would pick again.
