I am paying for my education myself - I am assuming all loans and consolidating them. I don’t think it is worth giving up an in-state school for if you have a solid program. If you’re in the midwest, every state has a great business school. Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State all are fantastic institutions and unless one offers tremendous advantages as opposed to your in-state school, I would stay in-state.

A useful tool would be looking at your ROI (Return on Investment) and compare average salaries of Indiana to the cost of Indiana, and then compare average salaries of your state school to the cost of your state school. Doing this you can often find what the “best deal” schools are. 90% of the time, your in-state school will be the best school in value.
