I'm debating between going to community college, going to a big state school, or attending Harvard. I keep hearing the true value of college is in the networking opportunities and the friends you make. Are the quality of friends you make at a prestigious Ivy League school significantly better than the quality of friends you'd make at CC or a state school? Why or why not?
You were definitely admitted to Harvard.
My only advice is to visit twice, and ideally have another top choice(s) that you also visit twice. I'm guessing you've been there once and liked it. Obviously a good thing if so, but go back and make sure. Key is talking to students, not asking if they like it, though that can't hurt, but talk about anything, observing, could I be friends with this person. If you do enough of those and get some yesses, very good. I went there and it was totally not for me. The friends I made, mostly other athletes, also didn't like it. Not saying it's not a great place for some. My main regret, not meeting unknown to me classmate Conan O'Brien!!
Whatever you can afford without going into debt. If you have to borrow $200,000 to go to an Ivy League school it is not worth it.

If you're truly considering an Ivy, skip the middle man and go straight to a school in "Palestine"
What the hell was that? Freddie Crittenden just ran 18 seconds in the hurdles
Kara Goucher failed to speak for 1 minute and 27 seconds after the race.
How much does someone like Ryan Crouser make? Why not join the NFL?
