Thought I'd start this thread for other info to consider in college selection besides THE rankings. Any others?

Thanks for the links momhippo; it was interesting to see that my school is on some recruiting lists despite the program being only a few years old.

The companies you've listed are mostly ECE/CS-related. What about recruiting for mechanical, aerospace or chemical engineers for example ?

momhippo, how do you find these? Just go through the websites?

Almost all companies have a recruiting webpage, and the larger ones will all have campus visits listed.

On the other hand if you have a few schools in mind, you can check their career sites to see who is recruiting there; for example here is Penn State for this fall:

philosopher4life: I go through websites, but sometimes it's hard to find and I have to dig. I usually search on "college recruiting" or "college events". Some URLs for this change every year-- I can't find Intel's this year. They seem to recruit in the fall for hiring after graduation, so now is the best time to find the schedules.

Learned this when older son decided to get a job instead of going for phD. As naive as it may sound, we never thought of looking where corporations recruit when considering colleges.
