Is it worth it to take out 100k+ of student loans to attend a semi-target?

Looking to pursue IB after college and am deciding between a state-school, UMass Amherst, which is offering me 33k a year for tuition, compared to the much better Boston College who is offering 44k a year.
 

I definitely prefer BC, but I’d be taking significantly more student loans there and am worried I might be caved in with debt

It it better to go to UMass, or take on the debt and go to BC? It might be worth it down the road to go to the better school
