Carnegie Mellon worth the cost?

I got accepted into Carnegie Mellon as an engineering student. Even after my financial aid award, it’s going to cost me $30,000 a year, vs $15,000 a year a North Carolina State University. My parents are only paying $10,000 a year so I’m going to be in some debt. Both are great engineering schools, but do you guys think CMU is worth the extra cost?

CMU: $80,000 in debt after graduation
NCSU: $20,000 in debt.
