I want to transfer schools now, but I'm wondering, does it matter where I get my undergraduate degree from? Do grad schools care whether you get your degree from public party school #573 or anywhere else? Should I put some work into getting into a better nationally ranked university with some notoriety?

If it matters, I want to get a BS in Environmental Science or Bio with Environmental concentration, and a minor in geo and/or mathematics, because I enjoy them

Most things I've read online says it doesn't

But this is /sci/, where you have to be in the top 1% at Cambridge

it doesn't matter much where you go
what matters is that you work hard, choose a field, get to know it well, and start really learning about it

basically gid gud, it doesn't matter where. it's always nice if you add prestige and publish something but anything is ok as long as you put int th effort
