Need more info, but UMN will be a lot colder than Penn State. I think both will fit your other factors as they will both be safe for asians and be LGBTQ+ friendly. I don't know if either is more internationally recognized than the other.

You should ask tomatos, they do Econ at umn

#

I’ve heard the Econ program at umn is a joke just from second hand experience

#

Carlson is a good finance bro school though

They don’t have Econ however
