My choice: take a risk and move to Chicago and attend a really expensive school to get a job that will pay me ok when i get done, but have endulged in living the away from home big city life.

Try living elsewhere for a while.

As someone who left his small city home in TX and moved to Boston for a really expensive school that'll give him a good job when he graduates, I'd say take the risk. the experience being away for college is something that you'll never have a chance to do again. Good luck!

Don't close doors on future success. Unless going to whichever chicago university won't help for what you'll be doing.

Get some exposure to new environments.
