Can your family pay for either of these without taking on any debt other than the standard federal student loans? If not, then you need to kiss them good-bye and move on. If your family has no problem whatsoever in paying for Spellman, and you prefer Spellman, then it is OK for you to graciously thank your parents for this gift, and head off to Spellman without guilt.

Save worry for grad school until you have a specific grad school goal. Law and med school you will probably have to pay for as there are only limited scholarships. A PhD program should be fully funded by by the grad school. An MBA should wait until you have at least three years of good work experience after college. An MsEng, MSEd, or MAT you might get help from an employer to pay for if you wait until you have a job, or you might pay for yourself if you enroll right after college, or might even be part of a combined program with your undergrad degree.
