way overhyped. Unless you need access to cadavers for the medical professions, or certain equipment for engineering type majors, you can really learn anything and everything on YouTube, Khan Academy, etc.
Undergrad degrees between colleges don’t even vary much. Harvard and Stanford aren’t teaching newly kept secrets of math or writing techniques. It’s all the same.
Where the difference lies is post graduate funding and connections. Everyone is learning the same stuff wherever they go on a general basis.
