Dream School VS State School

I’m left with a choice between a very good state school and my prestigious out-of-state “dream school.”

The cost difference is about 120k over four years… I think i’ll be HAPPIER at the state school, but unfulfilled ambition-wise. I’d be worked to death at my dream school, but i’d be living with purpose there.

I don’t know which route to take… I’m really an average individual with high ambitions. I think i’ll feel “unworthy” at my dream school with a 2.something GPA. Then again I’ll feel unsatisfied with a 4.0 GPA at the “second tier” state school.

What would you do…?
