Should I trust in myself to be able to pay off student loans in the future with an exemplary university, or should I attend an average university on a full-ride?
A family member of mine has gone to an outstanding university ending with a great sum of debt. They also had offers from less quality universities for no debt.

In present day 2018, which is the most important factor in determining universities to attend: cost, environment, quality of education, or distance from home?
All of these factors are very important to me, yet I do not know which will outweigh the rest in the future.
