Baruch MSRE or NYU MSRE? Anyone have any insight?

I know this has been posted a lot, but I'm currently thinking if I should apply to Baruch's MSRE program for Fall, or try to get in NYU's MSRE for Spring 2022.

From my research so far, Baruch costs way less than NYU's, but it lacks a lot of the connections that NYU has.

I still owe student loans from Undergrad, and currently owe a decent amount in credit card debt, so debt is weighing quite heavily on my bias.

Baruch is like $16k, whereas NYU looks to be like $80k+.  I can do workstudy while in Baruch, which would help alleviate debt. Whereas in NYU, there is no certainty of me getting any internship or job that would chip away at my debt.

Anyone have any experience or input on these 2 schools and their programs?

Thank you, that's good to know about Fordham.

On a somewhat related note, do you know anything about Pace's MBA? I'm eyeing it since its a 1 year program and only costs $50k. I'm kinda exploring my options now.
