Undergraduate - NYU Stern vs. UC Santa Barbara vs. UC Davis

I am busy deciding on what college I should go to. I have been accepted into NYU Stern but that is the only good business school I got into. My parents want me to do engineering so I applied for engineering to the majority of schools I applied to. I am now deciding between NYU Stern, UC Santa Barbara engineering, and UC Davis engineering. I really want to go to NYU but I don't want to be $200k in debt. I'm in-state for the UCs so they're much cheaper and I'll probably have no debt after the 4 years.

Is it more worth going to NYU, majoring in finance, and then going into IB or going to a UC, majoring in engineering, and then doing an MBA from a more prestigious school? Is NYU Stern undergraduate worth $60k a year even if I go into IB or HF?
