    I loved going to school in Rolla! It is a small town in the middle of Missouri, but St. Louis and Columbia are both close enough for a day trip. If you go to Rolla for school, don't expect to get a job in Rolla. The town is very small and there aren't many local opportunities for a person with a masters in electrical engineering. HOWEVER! They have a great career opportunities center, and the career fairs have sometimes 200+ companies looking for engineers!  You just have to be willing to move around the country. I cannot speak for electrical engineering, but everyone in my department (metallurgical engineering) who graduated with me got jobs upon graduating. I would say the school is very good at placing students in jobs/careers after graduation. I hope you enjoy your time there!
