I know exactly where you're coming from. I was accepted to the Univ of Minnesota and the Univ of Illinois. The first offered enough financial aid to pay for the first year and the second didn't offer anything but acceptance. However, Illinois was my first choice because of their program. So far, I have gone with Illinois and am just crossing my fingers.
More than likely I will have to borrow the max of 18,500 allowed as well as some private loans since I am paying for this myself. But I really wanted the program so I went with it.
It all depends on what you want and how badly you want it.
