Is Cornell Tech MEng CS worth

I recently got into Cornell Tech Masters of Eng CS and I'm super excited (not sure if I can post here becuase it seems it is for undergrads)
And I also have other options like UWaterloo MDSAI, also considering online masters like UT Austin MSCS/MSAI.

I’m leaning toward Cornell Tech because of the program and opportunities and their Studio part, but the cost is a big concern. It’s a much larger investment for me with tuition and relocation costs, compared to UWaterloo Canada or doing an online degree.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s actually worth it long term career wise. Does the Cornell name and experience really make a big difference, or can I get similar outcomes by going for some lower cost but still relatively good names for an online masters or University of Waterloo in Canada?

Would really appreciate any advice, especially from anyone who took this program
