Mcgill VS NYU VS UCLA??

Hey guys, I was accepted at all of my Canadian universities of choice, but unexpectedly I was also accepted at 3 UCs (LA, SD, and SB) as well as NYU.
My family isnt super well off, so the price tag that comes with going to UCLA (after converting USD to CAD it would cost a little less than 100k) kind of lessens my interest in going there. I know that US schools in general all cost like 75k USD, but NYU offered me about 20k a year.
I’m torn as to if I should choose one of the above schools over Mcgill, especially since Canadian schools are so much cheaper (I would be paying around 27k CAD a year there)! Do you guys think studying at UCLA/NYU is worth the price tag?

(Im studying Biochemistry as my major, if that makes a difference)

Thanks a bunch!

I would go with McGill which also has a great international rep.

In short, no. Paying a ton more to attend a giant uni in the US instead of a giant uni in Canada makes no sense.

I put McGill, UCLA, and NYU all in the same tier.

Go to grad school in the US, not undergrad.
