Can't decide between two universities; how do I make up my mind?

Hey, there Fluther. It’s finally reached that point of the college application process and I’ve managed to narrow it down to two (I had four, but eliminated one on the basis of not having preferred programs and costing a lot, the other is still in the running, but financially not ideal), and I’m having a gosh darn hard time. I was originally attached to one as my dream school, but when looking at things (distance from home, the affordability of the surrounding city, and the amount of undertaking of moving to a new country), now I’m not so sure. These two couldn’t be more polar opposites, but I’m still attracted to the two.

* In-state (Maryland) vs International (Canada)
* Close to home vs really far away
* DC Metro area vs Vancouver metro area
* Great, but less renowned environmental sciences program vs well-ranked environmental sciences program
* 24K a year vs ~36K a year (at exchange rates)
* BIG sports school vs sports there, but not as spirited
(and so on, and so forth.)

How do I decide? Do I go with the school that drew me in first, but is a lot more to undertake myself and is more financially, or the school that’s personally safer and closer, but I haven’t “fallen for” yet?
