The ideal engineer is a composite. He is not a scientist, he is not a mathematician, he is not a sociologist or a writer, but he may use the knowledge and techniques of any or all of these disciplines in solving engineering problems. - N. W. Dougherty.

Biggest disadvantage of coming from a no name college is the lack of enthusiasm in your peers. You're conditioned to think small. It weighs folks down over time. There are outliers. But the average of “what I can achieve” is low. Thats the core value-add of tier 1 colleges.
