Imo there's way too much conversation about reputation and campus experience than about cost and debt load

I'm 10 or 20 years the school you went to likely won't matter much. But the debt you still carry (or that prevented you from saving for a down-payment or retirement) will haunt you long after you leave.

If the cost of attendance is similar after aide then sure. But if you have to pay full price for Suffolk then that could potentially be the biggest mistake of your life

Are other state schools an option? I'm guessing you want to be in Boston, but umass Amherst is an upgrade over UMB while still being much cheaper than private school

The school wouldn't matter, but connections were made during college and the first "real job" would define OP's life for years to come.
