I&#x27;m not aware of major educational problems with in-state schools. I&#x27;ve compared my curriculum at a nobody southern in state school with the CS curriculum at MIT and I don&#x27;t see any major differences and I don&#x27;t feel shortchanged.<p>I&#x27;m pretty sure the only your school matters in the real world is at the most elite levels of a few fields and even then its mostly just about hiring people who went to the same school as you and the perception elites must come from the ivy league.
