I have friends at UIUC and the difference in recruiting is night and day. I didn&#x27;t get any response when I applied to Dropbox and Citadel over the last 2 years, but on the UIUC Computer Science Facebook page both companies post internship opportunities with direct recruiter emails, sometimes saying &quot;anybody can interview&quot; (for Dropbox). As someone who goes to a school of decent, but lower caliber this is a significant difference.
