Where you go to school helps with two things:
1) grad school
2) your FIRST job.
Depending on what you want to do, 1 might not matter at all to you, and 2 might not matter at all either if you have internships, or an actual job during college.
After working in the field for a few years, they look at the resume, "degree... check." The degree is just a checkbox. What they really are looking for is the years of experience doing whatever. Same with grad school... they want to know what experiences you can bring to the class as far as class participation goes, and how each student can potentially help the other students.
