I have just completed my high school and will be pursuing my future studies in USA. I am a little confused at the moment to make a choice between the universities i got acceptances from. I am good in sports as well as studies. I have opted for computer engineering and got acceptances from Rutgers University, Michigan State University, University of California Irvine and Boston University. Also i have been placed in the waitlist for University of Wisconsin Madison and my Penn State University decision is yet to be made. Which will be the best university for my field and will give me more job and internship opportunities as well as proper sports facilities??
Which sports are you interested in?
Are you an international student? Then you need to ask employers in your own country about which of these places they prefer. It will be very difficult for you to find a job here. If you want to know about jobs here, you need to contact the career centers at each of the places where you have been accepted, and ask specifically about job placement for international graduates.
Can you afford all of them?
I am a national player in the field of athletics in my country. I take part in track and field events. I can afford them all and i will also contact them and ask them for job placements but till the time can you guys tell me which university will be the best in my field of engineering.
If you haven’t been recruited yet, you can contact the coaches NOW to see if they’d let you “try out” but there’s no guarantee they will. Explain you won’t need a scholarship.
Whoever answers you can participate as a “walk on” athlete/try out, would get a plus.
UWisc, BU, Penn State, UCI, would all be highly reputable in their respective region.
