superdomestique:

Quite frankly, at the higher levels, I think it makes as much sense to choose an undergraduate institution based on cost/affordability as it does to choose a spouse based on assets/debt.

When it is not affordable at all (which appears to be the case for the OP), then the choice is not available.

Also, marriages often fail due to money disagreements; a prospective spouse in deep debt that will be difficult to pay off seems like a high marriage risk.
