One thing you will want to do on your college tours is insist on a visit to the career counseling/services department. At the university where I worked we had a career counseling section that helped you figure out what you wanted to do and a career services section that helped you find internships and employment, with some overlap in between. So be sure to ask the admissions rep specifically if this is the case, when you visit that/those department(s) ask specifically about their reciprocal relationships with other universities.
Reciprocity between career service/counseling departments allows for students from the college they are attending to utilize the same resources at a geographic area near a college or university where they are interested in employment. It also opens up possible opportunities for internships or temporary employment at places that only think to offer openings at that university, since it is local to them.
For instance, and this is a very general one, since it involves a place that would certainly look nationwide: Say JPL only thinks to look locally for internships, and goes to Rice for all its candidates. You go to Baylor, and want to work at JPL. You go to Baylor's career counseling, and find out there are no openings for internships with JPL. What do you do?
You research JPL, and find out they are hiring through Rice. You then ask Baylor's career counseling to form a reciprocal relationship with Rice so you can use their application process to submit a resume to JPL. Because you are at Baylor, your resume stands out among the loads of Rice resumes that JPL receives, and you just may land one of their coveted spots, along with the other Rice students they hire. No guarantees of course, and this does in no way denigrate Rice applicants. I'm just using the two universities for an example.
BUT, you may miss the application window if Baylor doesn't already have a reciprocal relationship with Rice. See what I mean by checking first?
