Is Fordham Worth being 70k in debt?

Hi I'm a high school senior who has been accepted into the Gabelli school of Business at Fordham. I'm interested in pursing a career in either asset management, sales and trading, or best case scenario graduating with a buy side position lined up. I have not received any merit or financial aid so I will most likely have to take a loan out to attend. I'm really interested in attending because of the location, rankings, brand name, and alumni network. I am aware that the school is not really a target school but through the student managed fund many Fordham grads seem to be placing well. If those who graduated from Fordham or are familiar with the school could share some insight I would appreciate it. Also if you could shed some light on the social scene I would appreciate that aswell because I want to enjoy being there if I am going to take such a large loan out, thanks.
