Neither school a bad choice, but is it worth the extra 15k for loans to be home?

Between the thread title and the post it was difficult to understand what you're asking, but if I understand correctly you're wondering if it's better to go to a school A that has the same prospects as school B, but costs $15k more over 3 years and has the benefit of being near home?

In both cases you're keeping your debt really low. If you'd rather be home, then go to that school -- the extra cost doesn't seem significant.

Poll needed. I vote for the better school for marginally higher cost (aka home school).

I vote for the one located where you'd be happy working after graduation (assuming no transfer).
