UF vs ASU vs Northeastern for MS in Industrial Engineering

Gator88NE thank you so much for your reply :smile: I always believed that UF has a great ISE program and what you have said just confirmed that. There are a lot of companies that do come for career fairs but is there a way for us to know which ones are interested in picking international students ? As the ones that do will have to sponsor work visas. If not all companies do that then international students will have fewer companies they can try working for and UF is known to have a large number of international students.

Despite the obvious fact that I really like UF as a school , what made me think a little ( and ultimately post this question) is my concern that staying in Gainesville would make it harder to ultimately get an internship or a job. Not just Gainseville but the state of Florida itself has fewer tech companies as compared to say Boston or Phoenix or the silicon valley. Wouldn’t you agree ? Do you think my concern in valid ? If yes do you feel that going to ASU or Northeastern because their locations (Boston and Phoenix) provide greater accessibility to tech companies and jobs is justified ?
