UIUC is very famous in Computer Science. I don't think that people will give you a job because you are graduating from a FAMOUS university. It is more on what major you take than what university you are graduating from.
Think of this:
EE from Yale or EE from UIUC? I am sure that a EE company will definitely choose the latter.
- menloparkbum 18y agoHaving a degree from a famous university may not automatically get you a job, but it will definitely get you more job interviews. If you know for sure you're doing engineering and you got into the EECS program at UIUC, then it probably doesn't matter as much. However, it didn't sound like that was the case for the original poster.
