Some schools do better support relevant work and internship experience, but the best colleges for relevant experience deviate from general measures of rankings or selectivity For example, I’d expect GeorgiaTech grads to typically have a greater degree of related work opportunities and experiences than MIT grads due GT’s strong emphasis on co-ops and to a lesser extent internships
I don’t know the details of MIT and SJSU’s related opportunities well enough to evaluate them well. I do know Stanford better, as I attended as an engineering major. Stanford is a prestigious college, highly rated in almost all tech fields, and located in SV; yet it was not my experience that employers were fighting over each other to get students for internships; nor did I see a large number of special opportunities beyond the usual career fair type events, which can be found at a variety of other college. One special opportunity that is not available at most colleges is the large number of tech employers located a short distance from campus, with Stanford being located in the heart of Silicon Valley. With the many tech companies within biking distance, I was able to get a part time job in tech while a student, in spite of not owning a car. This was my primary tech work experience as a student, rather than internships. Stanford’s SV location also made it easier to interview, and the short distance made it less expensive and easier for smaller SV companies to recruit at career events, including for internships. I’m sure there are also many tech employers in the Cambridge/Boston area by MIT, but it’s not the same as being located in Silicon Valley like Stanford, Berkeley, and SJSU.
