Georgetown Vs NYU, Masters in Real Estate (Finance Concentration)

I currently live in NYC and am transitioning to a career in CRE from accounting. I have been accepted to both Georgetown and NYU's Master's of Real Estate programs but am torn between the two. Georgetown would be shorter, cheaper and 100% online while NYU would be more expensive and a bit less flexible in regard to online courses. Is it worth the 40% premium in tuition to study in NYC if I want to work in NYC? I think it is worth the price to have the NYC networking capabilities but I am hoping to get opinions from professionals working in CRE here in the Northeast and those who may have a MSRE. I am hoping to get into CRE Finance (acquisitions or brokerage side of biz) and move on to an infrastructure REIT down the road
