Bit late but I'll suggest Rowan University. In NJ, has a music school, civil engineering, chemistry, Campus Pride ranks it 4.5/5. Student to faculty ratio of 13:1.

Hello! I’m a rising junior and I need some suggestions for more colleges to explore!
Location/Region: Decently sized city or town. Not too rural or out of the way. Ideally not a southern state but I could make exceptions.
Major: Either Civil Engineering or Chemistry. A college with both majors would be a plus as I’m currently undecided.
GPA/Test Scores (optional): 3.9 UW/somewhere between 4.1-4.3 W as of now (freshman and sophomore year). 1200 PSAT, hoping to bring it up to an SAT score of 1350-1400+.
Curriculum: Rigorous but not
seemingly impossible. I want to challenge myself but need time to do things other than work constantly. A huge plus would be a college that also offers a music minor or
music electives, especially in performance.
Size: A smaller class size is preferred. The overall size of the school doesn’t matter as much to me.
Costs: I will be needing aid but honestly have no idea how much. I am middle class but that’s all I really know about my family’s finances.
Schools you're currently looking at (if any): Drexel (I love the idea of co-ops/experiential learning), William and Mary (I like the nerdy/quiet vibe, not much of a party person. Also in state), UVA (great salaries and career outcomes), Dartmouth (project based and collaborative engineering curriculum!), Virginia Tech (beautiful campus, strong engineering)
Additional: LGBT friendly is a must, easy access to medical facilities like hospitals or specialists would be great too. Colleges with radio stations, music practice/recording rooms, and a music scene would be great too.

I’m doing the things on that list too, but I don’t have a great idea of what I actually want from a college so I’m trying to start a little earlier :)

Thanks for the recommendation, any specific reasons why Florida Gulf Coast would fit?

Thanks! I think I’ll tentatively add Northeastern to my list. I still have to do some research though

It's right outside of Fort myers which is a medium sized city, we have civil engineering snd chemistry. Your scores are enough to get you merit scholarships and an honors college invitation, and classes aren't super huge. There js a radio station and music school too.
