Determining A College's Worth

Son looked at Pitt engineering seriously. Talking to students, there are a lot of summer internships available in Pittsburg area and beyond. Some co-ops out there as well depending on engineering concentration. If you’re motivated to seek them out and have decent grades you stand a great chance of getting one. Most of the better (in terms of employers wanting to employ that school’s engineers) E schools have fall and spring job fairs, and you want to be very actively looking/interviewing in the fall one. That’s typically when the best internships are available. There will be some in spring as company’s economic outlooks change.
