[QUOTE="Engler, post: 1530796, member: 4110"] Where do you want to end up after college? There are some smaller schools that within their region are very well respected, but once you get 300 miles away are thought less of. A U of GA or A&M or MI St or, or, or would all be well respected nation wide but directional Kentucky (or fill in the state) is probably going to be looked down upon by some once you get a ways away. Second-what are the alumni like? Right, wrong or indifferent, people like people like them. If the person doing the hiring for a job and is an alumni of XYZ university class of 1993 and there are 2 similar resumes in front of them with one from ABC U and the other from XYZ, who's going to get the nod? Additionally what orgs are there available? I know a bunch of guys from my time in school that were members of a certain fraternity. It's amazing how many people that are from that same frat that are on the front lines of hiring. Again, it's somebody that I have a connection to as the HR person and they have an advantage. You have to do what's right for you at the end of the day. [/QUOTE]
