I don’t think $24,000 in loans is outrageous - that’s within the Stafford limits. If the extra $18,000 in debt over 4 years to go to your dream school is worth it to you, I don’t think it would be a bad decision. I don’t think student loans are bad in and of themselves - I wouldn’t have been able to go to school without them - you just have to keep the amount reasonable and really consider whether the debt or additional debt of a “dream school” is worth it.
