It all depends upon the family financial situation and how onerous it would be to pay for one school vs another. For a family already struggling to get by, with little or no retirement planning in place, for the parents to co-sign loans or tame PLUS, would be a bad move IMO. Also, taking on a second job that jeopardizes health, moving to a dangerous neighborhood have risks that are not worth it to me There are parents who take on jobs like cleaning house, moving furniture and such that are strenuous and everyone brags about it like it’s such a noble thing to do, but it appalls me that when such a thing happens, especially when a decent affordable option is available. It has to really be worth it. I wouldn’t have had my parents do such a thing. And if I had, I’d have regretted it l, as my dad died shortly after I finished college. I did not cause him extra stress those last years in terms of making ends meet, physical work, or depletion of funds, quality of life.

I frankly do not feel that the differences that these schools offer are worth the difference in cost if money is at all an issue
