PSU alum here and that's crazy. I know we have the largest dues paying alumni network, but I've never benefited from leveraging it into a job or anything like you mentioned.

Michigan and Wisconsin. These big schools have alumni everywhere. They are smart and likable people.

Notre Dame does have a national, and international, alumni network.

Particularly in this awful economy, I'd think that alumni contacts who are loyal, and can open doors if not deliver job offers, is one factor to be heavily weighed in assessing colleges. Do any schools immediately spring to mind?
