I think the ROI on college for CS people has changed significantly in the past few decades. Costs have gone way up while future value seems to be trending down (due to AI + proliferation of CS degrees). Furthermore, my experience in industry has been that nobody cares about your school after your first job or internship. So if I were you I'd eliminate options with any red-flags, choose the cheapest option that remains, and then work my tail off to extract as much value as possible (read Cal Newport's "How to Win at College" to start).
