Which university would be better for civil engineering? Also, which school would be better for out of state opportunities like internships or jobs offers.
Both are great for civil engineering. UF is a bit better recruited by out of state companies and UF students are more likely to find opportunities out of state (and not in Gainesville). Orlando is a major metropolitan area and tends to recruit engineers of all types, including Civil.
Of course, you can find jobs/internships OOS state (or in-state) at either school.
