[quote=Anonymous]Prospective students need to look at what kind of education they'll actually get at whatever schools they are considering. Are they just going to sit in big lectures the whole time? Or are there opportunities for engaged, hands-on learning? Does the school do a good job of placing students in internships or giving them other opportunities to apply their learning? Employers are much more interested in what graduates can actually do, than what their major was or what institution they attended. Obviously, that's only true to a degree - an institution's reputation has an influence. But a graduate from UPenn can easily blow an interview while a grad from Drexel can point to exactly what practical experiences they've had and how they've learned how to apply what they know. Having interviewed a lot of people, I definitely no longer make assumptions based on what institution they attended.[/quote]
