Junior in HS venting about the college search

I think we stress too much about “the perfect school.” My nephew is a senior studying Chemical Engineering at a fairly unknown private school in Indiana (Trine). He’s had a job lined up for after graduation since the beginning of this year.
The degree matters much more than the school, in my opinion.
Do you picture yourself at large Division 1 schools, or a small private school where the professors know your dog’s name?
And if you choose, then realize it was the wrong decision, you can transfer. OR, you can suck it up for a few years, because this is just a blip on your path. It goes by fast, and you have a ton more life to live and big decisions to make.
