Transfer to UNC/UT HELP ME

Current undergrad at a non target university and I honestly don't know what to do and just feel genuinely lost. Originally my parents have been paying for college (incoming sophomore) and now they are in a financial situation where they cant afford to pay for it anymore. I've applied to a number of external scholarships and tried to get a larger scholarship however I am forced to pay an extreme amount for college now that almost seems unavoidable ($100K). I have a 4.0 so I'm left with the choice of either staying where I am now or transferring, I hate my school and am struggling to build my network due to the fact that my school has a very minimal amount of alumni in banking. I did some research on WSO looking for transfer schools and most recommended were private which I definitely couldn't afford however UT and UNC I would be paying $140k. Idc if I make minimum payments forever on it I just honestly see no point in staying where im at right now 100k is a fuck ton why not 140k for a way better education and network. Ranting but like wtf do I do drop out and start selling nfts?

 

If you don't like where you are, these two schools have great reputations. Seems like the right move instead of staying where you are. 

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Broke it down and payments are around $1000 a month regardless ill make minimum payments until whenever ig, it helps I live 20 minutes from Manhattan so if I do happen to work here I would save a ton early on
