IMO, smaller or lesser known schools suffer only one real drawback. They don’t have the name recognition/networking power or reputation of their big brothers. That really only matters when a kid is going for the 1st real job. After that, work experience and success is much more important than which school or what grades were achieved. The financial advantages of going to an affordable school FAR outweigh any perceived advantage of going to a prestigious school and incurring debt. - Oh, and the instructors at many smaller schools are more interested in actually teaching than research or publishing. To me, that is more important than even the difference between having an MS or PhD.
