<p>Rico - do you have a link to a recent RPI career fair? Is there only the spring one? I have looked on the RPI Career development center website and I have found spring career fair links, but the link to the most recent company list is broken…the most recent I can find is 2005. </p>
<p>Basing this on the 2005 list of companies coming to the career fair, there are 82 companies coming to the RPI career fair. RPI has an enrollment of 5,148(princetonreview.com), so a ratio of about one company per 63 students. At Rose-Hulman’s most recent career fair (yesterday), we had 208 companies on campus, and our enrollment (again from PR.com) is 1,851…this is a ratio of one company for every 9 students.</p>
<p>Of course this isn’t an end-all be-all for career prospects of graduates. Company quality, regional differences, etc, can all be factors in how many companies come to career fairs. Plus, I don’t have recent data for RPI.</p>
<p>But it still serves to show that RPI isn’t in “a league of its own” in the OPs list, leaving the other 3 in the dust. Rose-Hulman draws over 2 times as many companies, with less than 1/2 as many students. RHIT also has 2 other career fairs during the year.</p>
