Is Boston University worth a premium over a large quality State University?

One daughter is at BU (busness) and my other daughter is a rising senior in high school. We just toured UPitt and I really liked it. I’m not sure about the engineering programs at either school, but they both universities seemed comparable in many ways. BU feels more modern but I felt the caliber of education was on the same par. Just opinion, not based on any factual evidence.
