as a CC alum, i would say that i don't see the difference in the quality of the education, because the classes are the SAME... as for status, i guess CC is considered the traditional ivy (whatever that means)... who really cares anyway?
one possible difference is that the dorms and other "undergraduate amenities" might be separate...
i would like to address the question of the person who started this thread by saying that CC may not be a good place to do a double major. once you are finished with all of the core curriculum courses, then you have to spend most of your time on your (single) major. if you tried to double major (which i'm not sure is possible), it would be to the exclusion of everything else. that would be a real shame... some of the best courses that i took were not core curriculum or my major, but rather "out of the blue" kind of courses that looked interesting or that i heard from other students were really great. i can't imagine a four year college education with all required courses (even if they are in the 2 fields that you have chosen to major in)...
i hope that this post was somewhat helpful...
