<p>S2 wants to get an oil job. I say he should go to UIUC (instate) and get a chemE degree. He wants to go to colorado school of mines and get a PetroE and or chemE degree. Can anyone tell me more about CSOM. He likes it because of skiing, but i think he can get a better job in oil with a UIUC degree. Thoughts?</p>
<p>CSM is pretty good public school. Consider also U of Tulsa for a PetroE degree: it is a private school and ranked #4, and they also have good ChemE there too, not to mention all the other majors of a diverse university. UIUC is great, but very large compared to CSM. Yes, the skiing potential would be best around CSM.</p>
<p>CSM has a good reputation within the Oil and Gas industry. He'll have no problem getting an oil job from CSM.</p>
