It absolutely matters. As a software developer, I really need good vertical space. For a simple computer user, this impacts you even when looking at email messages in a folder. I personally will not buy a laptop that limits the vertical resolution to something like 800 pixels!
At the tech school, you'll run into many more technical-minded folks at the book store, the coffee shops, parties, and other campus locations. That can make the environment more conducive for technical learning. You might feel a bit more at home there if you're a hard core tech type person.
At the liberal arts school with small technical (comp sci) dept, you'll run into a lot of non-tech people who wouldn't know C++ from B--. They'll probably be curious but get used to blank looks when they ask you to talk about your major or classes. On the bright side, the women will be hotter and you might have more fun.
Decisions, Decisions !!!
