More student dependent than college dependent IMO. You get as much out of the college as you put into it, particularly at the undergrad level. I did my undergrad at UCSB and my grad at Harvard. Would not have changed a thing in hindsight, and believe my undergrad experience was academically as good as an Ivy League education. I was able to do primary research, sit in on graduate level classes, and had great access to professors. I will admit that the Harvard contact network proved quite valuable, but that is another metric altogether. OT-I do advocate doing the East Coast/WestCoast educational experience for anyone going beyond the undergrad level.
