As far as learning is concerned, probably.

As far as career opportunities go, no. Having gone to a "big name" school/university definitely opens doors.

Except the data and studies I am familiar with don't bare that out.

There was no statistical increase in future earnings comparing those that went to an ivy league vs students who got in to ivy league but ended up going somewhere else. *

And that doesn't take into account the fact that the ivy league probably cost a lot more.

*There was actually a small income boost for ivy league for minorities.
