Is queens commerce really still worth it?

I already got rejected from Ivey which was my dream program, but I got into Queens Commerce. I really like iveys whole 2+2 and case based model while queens was more of a backup. I was thrilled and am still grateful into this competitive program, but I seriously can't justify going there especially with all the good things about it being limited/ending. There is basically no pipeline to US firms for finance/ consulting even though there was never really a huge one to begin with. Yes there are still good firms in canada, but I would think western ivey would be able to completely fill those spots up as there are way more ivey students than qcomm. I think I might as well give up on finance/consulting at this point and just try to get into ivey for 3rd year and if not, I'll do something else maybe accounting idk.

The biggest issue is the price. Holy I did not do my research. How is it this expensive? I'll be spending 40k+ first year to live on campus and study commerce. Schulich is around 10k a year and I can live at home all 4 years which saves so much (although I might live on campus first year to experience university life) but still) This is basically me spending my whole 4 years at schulich in one year at queens and theres no way i'll be making quadruple the salary I'll make at schulich. Theres just no chance.

Does anyone else feel this way or think its no longer a good choice?

TLDR: queens commerce isn't as good as it once was and is way too expensive for what it offers. I could attend 4 years of schulich for the price of one year at queens.
