[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some companies/organizations only recruit at certain schools. So, if you went to Dummy State U like I did...those companies never even come to campus. It just makes life harder to prove yourself w/o name brand cache.[/quote] So one of the things to check out when considering a college is how active/effective their Career Services office is. DC goes to a college that is not a well-known brand name, but the Career Services office takes their role seriously, and there have been good outcomes for most of the students. [/quote] +1 Also think of the alumni base. I've worked in Career Services (currently at a prestigious university) and we rely heavily on our alumni to connect with current students and to help foster recruitment with their companies. Ask about alumni engagement and how it correlates to student success.[/quote]
