Assuming you can get a decent education at a school, the deciding factor should be if the reputation of going there is beneficial to you. If it isn't, go purely with cost.

But credentialism is real and saying you did comp sci at CMU or MIT will open more doors than if you did it at the University of Florida.

Well, I do have the intention to go to grad school. So, are you of the opinion that a 'good degree' will open more doors for me in terms of grad school admissions?

Yes
