There's a little finesse to it, but name matters a lot more than people think. In a bureaucratic/hierarchical organization like the state, it shouldn't matter too much, but to say there is absolutely no significance to name is not right. Your personal name, the brand of clothes/shoes/TV/etc. have a big impact on reputation –*we all know that, but all of this comes down to personal discretion –*for me, and I think I can speak for many, Excelsior doesn't sound as good as TESC or COSC, but of course, that's my own personal opinion on that.There is some truth to your statement. I'm sure my resume has been overlooked by some because it said TESC on it rather than Georgetown or NYU.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
