Wow congratulations on two great opportunities. Yes, consider the cost of Columbia- but with a college diploma is it possible to get your masters at other choices if you wish? At UNC you can apply to the school of public health- but is that a guarantee? How many apply and how many are accepted? If you complete a 4 year degree at UNC, then your options for a masters may also include other choices.
I don’t have an engineering background, so I hope other posters can advise you on that aspect. If admission to the public health school at UNC is not guaranteed, then there is the possibility of finishing a 4 year degree there and attending graduate school somewhere else.
It might help to consider the undergraduate experience individually: 4 years at either school with the next step being decided later. Which one is a better fit for you?
