I’ve heard that graduate programs are the more important, so that’s when the prestige of an university will really matter.



I completely disagree with that. I constantly hear opinions on CC that suggest that the primary purpose of college is to help get you your first, entry-level job. That’s very short-sighted. College should help you to build a rewarding career and a rewarding life, and that’s influenced strongly by your undergraduate experiences and peer group.
