<p>Would Cornell Engineering afford me many opportunities during my years there and, more importantly, after, compared with the dual degree of a B.A. from Barnard College and B.S. from Columbia University? New York City just has so many chances for internships and job opportunities.</p>
<p>doing cornell engineering IN ithaca would mean that you would most likely have your internships outside of ITHACA sometimes in NYC but also in other parts of the state/country…</p>
<p>not sure that barnard/columbia has any more or less NYC internships than CORNELL</p>
<p>But the only time I would be able to do those internships would be during the summer, co-op, study abroad, etc. Should I let that affect my decision in going there?</p>

<p>No. Very few full-time students have the time/energy to commit to an in-semester internship or co-op. When I was working in Boston we would not touch the resumes of students from Harvard or Tufts because we knew they wouldn’t have the time to commit to 16-24 full hours of work a week,and we would typically hire students who had already graduated for our school-year internships. Summer employment was obviously a different story, and we had interns from Cornell, Dartmouth, Chicago, etc.</p>
<p>Cornell Engineering has a wonderful co-op program.</p>
