Do something big and different...something that will get you noticed. Make an impact on your campus, like starting a club. Whatever your interests/passions are, put your drive and work ethic behind it and really have fun with it. If you are a CS guy, work on cool open source projects. Don't forget about grades. I think going to a less-than-stellar school means grades are far more important. Lastly, every single school is unique in its own right. Figure out how your school is positively different than, say, Harvard, MIT, etc. For example, I went to a huge public school, but I really wish I had gotten the smaller 1 on 1 interactions you sometimes see at community colleges. Differences like that. Exploit these difference so that if the issue of where you went to school ever comes up with an employer, you can soundly give them a solid reason.
