Both excellent schools.

Look into things like departmental reputation, class size and how your son feels on either campus.

Also, who will be repaying the loans, you or your son, and how much of a burden will this repayment be?

My guess is that $4000/year is not enough if your S clearly prefers NU, but really it’s difficult for anyone to evaluate someone else’s financial situation.
