Agree with this. Also, things have already changed a lot in the past few years in the world of job offers, so how you (@whatabout1) will explore job opportunities in 4-5 years is not something that should be a strong consideration at this point. That said, as @TonyGrace said, Cornell will likely have great internship opportunities and job prospects. Lafayette will have good ones as well, but perhaps not quite as strong. But the price difference between the schools is a compelling consideration.
