I have mixed feelings about this.

I sure as hell don't think just because Person 1 went to Stanford and Person 2 went to State School that one is better than another.

Maybe part of it is that I'm from Pennsylvania and we happen to have some fairly good state schools like Penn State.

Or the fact that when it comes down to writing code, where you went to school means absolutely DICK. Hooray, you spent 4 years learning Java at exorbinate cost. So what?

What does matter to me - and shows in the resume, incidentally - is what you did after school ( or instead of it, in my case ).
