    Hi Jenna - Where you go to school matters depending on your goals.  Ensure that it is a quality engineering program and has your area of interest (and maybe a few others in case you change your mind ;-). Some companies recruit at certain schools and not others so that can impact job prospects. You can usually see the companies that recruit as a data point for you. My company recruits interns and co-ops at the larger schools nearby our facilities.  That being said, small schools are graduating engineers that get jobs too. It's one piece of the puzzle for finding the right school for you.
