Actually I think IU is a pretty special university with extremely loyal alums in the Kelley school which is Top 10 for undergrad IMHO. It's one shot at having a great college experience which is not matched by 2 years at CC and 2 years at SDSU which is still basically a glorified commuter school. I think $60K is a lot of debt and you need to work your butt of year one to earn some additional aid which is always available to enrolled students who prove themselves worthy. Get that debt down to $30K total and it's definitely worth it.
