When you say $20K for CMU and free for UF, does that include room and board for both? Make sure you’re comparing apples to apples. Based on your other posts, I’m assuming that you didn’t get Benaquisito, but I could be wrong.

How much debt will you have to take on? If it will end up being less than the Subsidized Direct Loan limit, I’d say that the debt load is very manageable for a MechE.

I think fit is something that you should think about more than the perceived prestige of the two schools. CMU is a relatively small school in a large city, while UF is a very large university in a small town. The student body demographics are very different.
