09:21, can you describe your DC's recruiting experience?  Just wondering.  I hear both sides, the school doesn't matter vs does matter.  I have a high school junior considering CS.[/quote]

The school does and doesn't matter.

For example, Stanford sends lots of Engineers/CS to Facebook, Google, etc

UNC or UVA not likely going to those companies right out of college because these companies do not recruit as highly from those schools. Amazon might now given their new locations.

The above are large schools.

LAC's have  lower amounts of employers recruiting from them. Hence harder to get a job right out of college in CS.

If coming from an LAC I would ask where do students in this department get internships? Those transfer to jobs.

There is nothing at all wrong with going to an LAC for CS if that's the best fit for your student. Looking at their career center and what jobs students get from that school in that area are where you should be asking questions. Your student can call them and look at the website to see list of companies that recruit on campus.
