Got both my B.S. Degrees at a state university in TX; they offered me a good scholarship and it was far enough from home. As a programmer/engineer I have to say that school is less important than what you do with yourself while in school - particularly if you want to go the entrepenuer route. Of course for some professions (lawyer or doctor?) if you have your sights set on a particular employer you'd probably better cater to any favored alma mater(s) that employer has. Bottom line is study what you love and work hard at it; you'll get good/better as you go. Take schooling seriously but not too seriously.
