[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally speaking, as a hiring manager, I have been much more impressed with UVA grads than Penn State grads. UVA kids tend to come across as much more sophisticated and polished than Penn State students. [/quote] Like a finishing school?[/quote] The UVA kids are probably just a wealthier cohort to begin with. Probably entered college that way. I went to PSU (undecided, liberal arts) for one year then transferred. The classes and professors were fine but the student body didn't seem very academically-oriented. Socially, it was a disappointment. I can find it believable that a recruiter would be able to pick up differences. When I describe my year at PSU, I sometimes say it was like camp for middle-class suburbanites. People actively craved freedom from parents so they could celebrate watching football and getting wasted. Pretty limited view of the possibilities.[/quote]
