<p>Penn State has a GREAT corporate recruiting program. It doesn’t necessarily involve an alumi network. It is numerous companies coming on campus to interview you throughout your senior year. At the beginning of your senior year, or maybe sooner for an internship, you will prepare your resume and submit it for companies to review. The companies will come to Penn State looking for grads — you will not have to go looking for them. Professors and department heads work hard to keep the companies coming back year after year. You would NEVER be able to get nearly the same amount of interviews if you were working solely with an alumni network program.</p>
<p>Now Michigan may have something similar. I can only speak personally for Penn State. Both schools have a great reputation.</p>
