Boston University or University of Connecticut. Harder than it sounds. Help!

This is my first post so I hope to get some good insights and respectful replies. I have been a long time ghost here and all of you have been very informative.

Alright so I am technically about to start my junior year in fall 2020 and up until this point I had been at a community college in Connecticut. I earned an associates degree this year and have been accepted to both UCONN and BU. I have applied to other universities but it seems like these are the main two i will have to make a decision between.

My goal is management consulting after graduation and then MBA a few years after that. Neither are target schools for MBB so I would have to network my butt off either way, but I still feel like that would be easier at BU. But theres a problem.

I would be able to go to UCONN for the remainder of my education (2-2.5 years) at maybe 20-$28,000 a year. This is because I grew up in CT and am considered for in state tuition. BU on the other hand, after grants I would be paying about 60-$65,000 per year for the same time frame.

Do you guys think that the slightly better education, and the better environment for consulting would be worth the additional debt? Unfortunately I was not approved for any scholarships and I would have to rely on loans for the tuition I listed.

The crappy part is that deposits are due at these schools in 15 days..... Please help if you have insight!!
