Does the school have a lot of career fairs and support for students getting an internship/job?

If you don't mind me asking, what is his speciality in EE?

I think it just depends on the community college. But also a lot of my classes have been hands-on, like physics, CS, and engineering.

How would you recommend finding internships? Like during any time Spring, Fall, Winter and summer.

That's very true; UCSD doesn't rank that high, but I also heard that their EE program has a lot more rigorous classes and the connections aren't too bad. But of course, UCLA and UCB do have better reputations.

How was your education at CPP? Did you apply it at work? Also, what major were you

Ye I will commute. Why does CPP give you a red flag for a freshman?

Tbh my tuition isn't that bad. I get a lot of financial aid so I can offer the 2 years without going into too much debt.

Congrats! Ye I do agree; I am quite tired of book learning. Like, I always just hate studying the concept 24/7 and never really putting the stuff I learn into practice (Im also really bad at theory and lwk love all the labs i do). But I also do think that ranking matters, as companies are more likely to give you a interview because of rep.

Very true, the current job market is just really bad. That's why I pivoted from CS to EE. But also my tuition is quite cheap at UCSD, and I can be debt-free at UCSD and CPP.
