<p>Where you get your undergraduate degree counts some in terms of doing graduate work, that’s true. But doing well during your undergraduate study is more important than where you go. I know lots of Rutgers grads who have graduated with high GPA’s and have gone on to very prestigious graduate programs, including my husband who went to Harvard Law 
I think that in many ways if you’re planning to go to grad school, it’s even more important to be frugal with spending on your undergraduate degree. Just my two cents.</p>
