College bound! almost

I have been accepted into Parsons the new school for design, Syracuse University, and Marist College. All east coast. I am really excited. Still waiting to hear back from Pratt Institute. I was wanting your opinion on what school I should go to and why? My first choice is Parsons. I really like the campus, the location (NYC), i like the curriculum, and the atmosphere. My only problem is that it is the most expensive school on my list. ughhh. why can't college be cheaper?
