To make a choice from any of the colleges, you must judge practically by calculating the net benefit for each school. This is because all the intangible aspects like brand value, networking opportunity, learning, etc will definitely manifest in the expected earning potential after the completion of your MBA.

Firstly, calculate your present earning potential by adding your ‘Current salary’ and expected increase and what is the maximum you can earn in this field (also, how many years it will take?) - Say you can reach up to X in 10 years and then it’s more or less constant.

Now, Calculate the investment for each college -

Cost / Investment = Fees + Stay + exchange program + opportunity cost (current salary * number of months)

ROI after MBA= Expected Salary ranges in the industry you want to work in. What is the maximum earning potential you can reach?

It should be more than X or if it's X in fewer years than your current state, which shows that your investment in that college will be worth it in the future. This way will definitely help you invest in the right place.
