Before you decide that you have to go to a "name" college, whatever that means to you, take a minute to read this article. It's about Forbes' "30 for 30," the annual list of people under thirty who are the movers and shakers of their generation - the new "it" people, if you will. What this article points out however, is how many of them did not attend one of those brand name colleges, and I suspect you know which colleges I mean.
In fact, they attended schools such as the University of Iowa, Drexel University, Arizona State, the College of Charleston, Indiana University. One other school they mention is the University of Maryland Baltimore, one of the best places to go if you're interested in STEM. Obviously the point I'm trying to make is that the rankings really mean nothing. Smart, creative, inventive, interesting people go to all sorts of colleges and universities, and you can too.
