I like how the accepted dichotomy in this entire debate here in the comment is either MIT or bad school. There is an in between! There are lots of competent, well managed, and important educational institutions outside of the top 2-3 schools! Maybe once you get to like 30-40 or so, maybe that argument holds more water. But let's not pretend like plenty of state universities aren't great academic institutions.
