I think you should go to a state school that is in state and has favorable rates for you such as Temple or West Chester. I have no problem with West CHester and would take it over Holy Family or whatever school you were mentioning. I think the cost is what is important in your particular case, as you will have to pay for it for a long time thereafter if you borrow. That is not a good business decision unless there is some reasonably good chance of some premium that comes from the extra expense. I have a SIL with a degree from Rider and a cousin with a business degree from West Chester. They will tell you that the schools are equivalent in terms of “prestige” except for Rider’s Westminster Choir school which has a renowned music program for which West Chester does not have an equivalent.
