No. Many smaller schools (LACs especially) are not particularly well-known, but they are amazing schools. I mean…if prestige and being able to brag about where you are going is important to you, I would say a big impressive research university is probably the place you want to be. But if you’re just interested in getting a great education, you can get an amazing experience from a smaller college that “no one” has heard of. It depends on your learning style though and (to some extent) your intended major.
