As for Harvard and the other Ivy Leagues, I think they are damaging their own brand to the point where it won't matter if you went to one. They are indoctrination centers at this point. We've all seen the videos of privileged students at these places attacking professors over things like Halloween costumes. Employers will eventually start looking at schools that admit people with talent and educate them well, regardless of whether or not they're "Harvard."

Not American, so I don't really understand the prestige of places like Harvard. I assumed it had more to do with their fraternity organizations that provide opportunities in business (due to signing away your soul in secret cult rituals or whatever.)

Connections basically. I'd argue that is the main benefit of college.

You can of course study and learn the academics of it all largely on your own if you want. But the main benefit of college is that you've got a lot of other people around who share your interests, or don't and force you to expand your understanding of the world. Then later hopefully if you're socially competent you're gonna have potentially beneficial career connections.

Which is ironically why going to college to party isn't actually a bad idea. Just need to learn to balance it all.
