I would encourage parents and students to determine what five criteria are most important in a college (focus of college, environment, cost, etc.), and then to search thoroughly based on those criteria. Do not discount colleges based on a lack of name recognition or specifically choose colleges based on name recognition; simply qualify colleges based on how well they meet the criteria. There are many universities that are overlooked completely because few have heard of them, becoming hidden gems. There are others that have a bad reputation, such as a reputation as a party school, that have good academic programs that tend to be overlooked due to their unfortunate label. Once you have a list of good choices, visit their campuses and talk to the universities' students, alumni, and professors. Once you have a feel for your best options, pick the one that feels right.
