Go to Indiana. Why don't you try applying for a scholarship?

If you didn't get a scholarship in your admissions package for IU, it makes no sense to consider the school. You can just transfer in 2 years if you wish to go there. SDSU is an amazing option for in-state students in terms of tuition, it's practically nothing.

Forgive me if I've missed it, but it doesn't look like you've visited SDSU. If not, you're in SoCal, that's an easy trip--why not go check out the campus when class is in session? Much as you like the city and general area, you may feel differently about the campus itself. Or you might like it even better, for that matter.

Full disclosure: one of my siblings went through SDSU in the mid to late 80's, and adored it. Joined the greek system, went to all football games, has close lifelong friends from the experience, ended up getting a job from an employer who recruited on-campus (government, not business). Finished debt-free, no small accomplishment with two older siblings in college at the same time and parents with limited financial resources.
