If you were from the east coast and planned on settling on the east coast after college, would you rather go to ASU Carey or a lower ranked school for undergraduate? My kid is only a junior, but I’m curious your take on it: higher ranking or school where you want to settle?
The school that fits him best.
Today, a lot of hiring is done virtually - linkedin, indeed, handshake gets similar jobs - so I’d find the school that fits best.
Where an ASU will shine - and place anywhere is supply chain. They’ll be loaded up in handshake - but interviews very well may take place virtually, etc.
In the end, you have to be somewhere four years, day after day, so you should be at the right school.
My kid went to Alabama and was in Utah and now Arizona. Kids he works with - same things. His job offers an interviews were from basically every corner of the country and his cohort at work came from the South, mid atlantic, midwest, mountain west, and far west.
That’s not abnormal.
Now many kids want to stay near school especially at flagships or regional schools dominated by in state students - so of course you’ll see the #s at many schools reflect that.
But kids today - I think - you can get to anywhere location wise you want - you just have to apply for positions in those areas.
Best of luck to your student in their journey.

Depends upon the particulars.
For certain business concentrations or majors, the school may be more important. One such business major is Supply Chain Management; top schools are ASU, Michigan State, U Tennessee, & Penn State.
Most business majors place regionally.
OP: Which schools do you have in mind on the east coast ?
It’s hard to answer this without knowing what those other schools are.
This implies that east coast business schools are lower ranked than ASU, which is simply not the case.

Put another way, from ASU Carey supply chain your student could get a job anywhere in the US; we don’t know enough about the other school to make that determination.
Students often change their mind about where they expect to go after graduation, particularly if offered their dream job somewhere. Most 22 year olds are quite mobile now, and will live in several places.
Maybe not worded well. I am comparing it to unranked business schools on the east coast like Manhattan or St. Joseph’s Philly.
Ok, thank you for clarifying.
I am not familiar with those schools, so I’ll defer to others.
Good luck.
Ask about internships for business students at any school of interest.
Same answer - go to the right fit - even if it were supply chain the student wanted.
ASU is vastly different than those smaller, private religious schools.
Grads will get jobs from all - and yes, you can go from ASU to the East - and the others to the West. However, the smaller will likely find jobs more regionally - but that may also be predetermined by the student. One can still get most anywhere - with effort.
If I wanted a small Jesuit school - I wouldn’t choose ASU - as an example.
I would ensure a school had the major I wanted (i.e. St. Joes, Manhattan won’t have the same breadth as Carey at ASU.).
But fit first- you will be there four years, day after day after day.
Why this comparison specifically?
