NYU Stern undergrad worth full price?

Hi everyone, For some context, I'm currently a senior at a hs in Canada and I was accepted to NYU Stern as well as top Canadian business schools Western Ivey and Queen's Commerce. I was wondering if it's worth it to pay the full price (80k USD) to go to NYU Stern over these much cheaper options? Are the opportunities truly worth the heavy price tag? My family can afford it, but it will be a super big financial burden regardless. I do want a career in banking and private equity, and also want to hopefully go for an MBA after my undergrad. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what I should do, and if I do decide to stay in Canada, will the Western Ivey and Queen's Commerce name hinder my chances for an MBA at a top institution such as Wharton or HBS? Thanks!
