While being part of a quality institution is still valuable, you want to investigate how the individual departments are viewed by people in the field, how they are rated on academics and research, whether they have well respected faculty, etc.
Those completing doctoral work will want to investigate the research interests of faculty at different institutions in order to find someone whose research interests match or complement their own.
You can investigate the faculty by talking to current students or alumni of a particular school, talking to the faculty themselves, and talking to other people in the field to determine who is well
If you are engaged in a research degree in the liberal arts, you may want the university with the best library. If you are pursuing a Ph.D. in the sciences, you want a state-of-the-art laboratory and equipment at your disposal. Once again, visit the school and investigate what is available to you as a student
