<p>spacygirl,</p>
<p>It’s time you called both Universities and did some of this research about regional appeal versus national appeal yourself. </p>
<p>Don’t just look at the percentages of students who got jobs close to the university. As I mentioned to monydad, Cornell students have no choice. They are attending a school is a depressed area and have no local options. They MUST migrate away, so the percentage of them spreading over the country will be quite high. It has to be. This does not mean universities in “the” metro hub of our country, whose graduates tend to stay local, has only limited regional appeal. IMHO, that’s simply a ridiculous self-serving premise. </p>
<p>Only the placement offices can give you the “real” data. If you are interested in different parts of the country, ask if any graduates were placed in those areas and for what salaries. Take note of the type of company and opportunity they presented to the graduate. </p>
<p>I think you’re running out of time to do this research. :-)</p>
