From one former Milwaukeean to another, I hope this kicks more recruiters to the area. With three major universities in the city, there was a dismal number of national recruiters dropping by when I lived there (about a decade ago now, maybe things are different).

I grew up in the Milwaukee area, but eventually moved to Boston. I think it produces a decent amount of talent (my school had a great technical program) but there's not a lot of interesting employers there.
I grew up in Milwaukee and (in 2002) applied only to California universities because I thought the tech industry/opportunities out there were much more substantial, and I'd have a leg up on professional networking. Has worked out well. YMMV
