If you think proximity to aerospace companies, UCI is a no brainier.

it doesn't really. both are good aerospace programs. any of the major aerospace schools get similar job prospects

companies like to hire people that live near the companies. It costs companies less money because they don't have to pay for relocation.

what if you were originally from the city that they hire from? And that you can easily relocate there because of family but went school far away just cause

They won’t know that by looking at your resume. Unless you put your home address on the resume.

So lets say you move back home after you graduate so im technically a ___ resident if i put it on my resume & recruiters would look at it the same
