I'll offer an opinion based mostly on the financial scenario you presented. If you go to the significantly more expensive school, and graduate at about 25, and then finish paying off college debt at 50, what exactly about that tempts you? Good heavens, you'd expect to retire at 60 or 65, you want to pay school debt until you are 50? I feel that soon after you get a job, and then pay out that college debt every month you'd soon despise that debt. Even if it is true that graduating from the more expensive school would earn a higher starting salary, you'd end up losing due to paying out additional school debt and if you live in Conn, higher living costs.
Remember school costs are an investment(if you're paying your own way), what will bring you the best return? The school you choose should give you the opportunity to provide you with a higher standard of living- big school debt subtracts from that standard.
