depending on the professors, you can get a fantastic education at a community college, for that matter. Being a great teacher and being a great writer or researcher, are not necessarily correlative. At some places, undergraduates are taught by TA’s or Teaching Fellows, and they are guinea pigs for future tenure track profs. All that said, I really think, given the number of PhD’s wandering the wilderness of part time work, it is possible to get a really great education all over the place in the US. What that will translate to in the job market, I can’t say. Over time, though, I think it tends to even out, with very hard workers and intelligent employees gaining ground over time.
