<p>MIT is not in the Ivy League.</p>
<p>State universities’ size is also an advantage. A recruiter will expose his/her employer to a greater number of students at a huge state university, compared to a smaller Ivy League school or LAC. Of course, smaller schools may have particular concentrations of students that attract certain employers. For example, an employer looking specifically for engineering students may go to MIT or SDSMT, while a very school-prestige-conscious employer may go to super-selective schools.</p>
