<p>We evaluated Marquette against UW (although my son ultimately was declined by UW) and I can tell you for certain that prospects for co-op assignments are much better at MU. Co-op is central to their approach. When we did the info session at UW and asked about co-op, the reply was a sort of shrug - yes, the opportunities are there if you seek them out. To me this is a real plus.</p>
<p>As an aside, we didn’t look at U of M as it’s too close to home. My son wound up at University of Iowa. Choosing it over Marquette was very difficult.</p>
