It might be perfect for you, your gut might be telling you to go, you might wonder what you missed if you did not go there. It sounds like you are going to go there, and you would like people to tell you to go for your dream, and go to IU!
If you were my child I would advise you that there is no way that I think you should put yourself into that amount of debt. There are many schools that you can make work for you. Just make the best of any situation. Find great professors, interesting people, interesting classes, make wonderful friends, find clubs, internships, jobs. I believe that there are many good fits for everyone. Sure, some might be better than others. The finances do not make this a good fit for you in my opinion. Wait and see what the financial package is, but plan to go somewhere where you don't have so much debt. This is the advice that I would give my own children, and my son did turn down his first choice school, bc of the lousy financial package (and he did get a 10k merit scholarship, but at a private school that is often not nearly enough money).
