<p>What is the job opportunities and internships between UW and Cornell, UCLA Bekeley in computer science major? Any advise or input? Thanks.</p>
<p>Berkeley is obviously the most prestigious school with the best computer science department and its location in Silicon Valley. There are a ton of high tech companies which recruit from Berkeley, every company wants a Berkeley computer science grad. For specifically computer science, UW would be more well known than Cornell but only slightly. UCLA is without a doubbt the least well known because, unlike the rest of these colleges, it is not known for its computer science department.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>In what aspect? We have very differing cultures, research opportunities, etc. What might be “better” for one person may be a terrible fit for another.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Silicon Valley companies don’t just hire from the area. We always get company reps and recruiters flying up to UW for a day to just recruit.</p>

<p>You say this as if the job opportunities from UW CSE students absolutely sucks and/or is a lot worse than Cal. I disagree… greatly. Honestly, any great school will have limitless opportunities. Each school also has different cultures, which influences what types of companies may ‘recruit harder.’ </p>
<p>For example, Stanford has a start up culture. UW has a big mix, which opens up many different opportunities for interning at different sized companies that have different goals. I can’t speak for Cal’s cs program in general - the only people I know who attend Cal have only worked at Amazon or are studying pre-med.</p>
<p>Job opportunities aren’t just limited to [Current</a> Affiliate Members | Computer Science & Engineering](<a href=“http://www.cs.washington.edu/industrial_affiliates/current/]Current”>Current Affiliate Members | Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering). We get a few emails of new CS job postings every morning from companies looking for CSE students to hire.</p>
<p>Speedsolver, why you wanna kick my ass in every thread? QQ</p>
<p>Here’s a hug to compensate! :P</p>
<p>Thanks, speedover and bwwinthehouse for information.</p>
<p>I’d say UC Berkeley > UW/Cornell > UCLA for specifically CS.</p>
<p>I’d argue that there’s very little difference between UCB/UW/Cornell as far as job opportunities and internships go. They’re all top-10 schools. What matters more is your personal aptitude (e.g. the projects you work on, how well you can prepare for interviews, etc).</p>
