I want to commend the OP for being aware and sensitive to his family’s finances, and asking the right questions (whether 150k of debt at MIT is worth the cost). Those are questions I did not ask myself when I acquired 100k debt (since repaid) in school. Contrary to some other answers, I don’t think there is a correct answer to whether hypothetical MIT and debt are worth it - it depends on the intangible benefits as well as unknown tangible benefits. I agree though that Georgia’s schools offer great opportunities that should be considered, whichever way the college process works out.
