Once you get past a certain minimum threshold (which is pretty fucking low - talking obvious degree mills here), it doesn't matter where you go as far as the actual quality of the education is concerned. I'm not saying there's literally no difference but especially in an age when there's so much material available online, the difference between a mid-tier and top-tier school is largely academic (haha). Ivy League-educated programmers are not vastly more competent than their peers who went to state schools, they just aren't. You can easily get access to the *exact* same materials they're using, the same material their professors are teaching from. Your lectures won't be delivered by the same person, but that's about it.

Some people (often people with an agenda) will tell you differently, but there are honestly way worse things than picking a school because you like the campus and social life.

The questions you need to ask yourself are,

1. Will a degree from one of the other universities be *significantly* more marketable? It's stupid, but you really can get hired because you went to a school with a good "brand." It is not the end-all-be-all, though.
2. Cost/availability of scholarships - you really, really want to avoid going into debt. If you/your family has enough money to avoid student loans, then you need to think about what's more valuable, the extra boost to marketability that a degree from a "better" school will get you, or having a couple extra tens of thousands of dollars saved or invested in the here and now.

Obviously those are questions I can't answer myself. They're dependent on your situation and the schools themselves. But those are the kinds of things you need to think about.

This is going to sound trite, but as long as you aren't going to some University of Phoenix-tier diploma mill or a shitty community college (maybe not even that), then it honestly doesn't matter much where you go. What really matters is what you make of where you are; join clubs, meet people, make connections and grow more experienced and cultured. Also state schools are often way cheaper for not that much of a difference in education.
