Does your school really matter? (CSU vs CSU or UC vs CSU)

I feel like this answer to this is all over the place. That going to a UC is much more worth it for the name recognition and quality of teachers. Others say it doesn’t matter where you go as long as you get a degree, and work experience is worth much more. Then again I hear that UCs have a better chance of getting a job/internship with the resources they have. While other people say that a determined CSU student has just as good chances. Where is the truth in all this?

For me I guess I get bummed out since I’m at what’s considered a “low ranking” CSU . I’m a comp sci major and I’ve heard that for this degree in general it doesn’t matter where to go since it is fairly easy to get a job with this degree. I feel like I can get a job, but I want a GOOD job. Also I just can’t help the feeling that I’m missing out on something, like resources, opportunities, networking ect by being at a low rank school. I’ve even thought of transferring to a “better” school. Thoughts?
