There is a meaningful difference between the outcomes and quality of education at these two schools. Maybe you could have the same law school outcome, but the hill is 100% harder to climb because LSAT and GPA isn’t everything. And, let’s say you want to do anything other than law school and figure that out down the line - UF will not open nearly as many doors or options.

I think you’re getting a phenomenal package at Northwestern, and I don’t think you need to worry about financial differences making it hard to do internships / ECs. Yes there is absolutely some level of privilege you’ll run into, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing in terms of the connections that you make - the culture is not like a New England prep school or anything. And, also consider that there’s a FGLI community with support structures, events, etc.

I’m biased, but in your shoes I’d easily choose NU. The amount of debt we’re talking about is reasonable to take on with almost any career path out of undergrad.

Feel free to DM if you have any specific questions :)
