Should I be a transfer student...?

ok.
so here is the deal.
I am not sure of what i want to study, I have broad ideas but none of them are for sure.
I planned on applying to NYU, UPenn, Northwestern, and Indiana University.
I got into IU with a scholarship.
here is where the problem comes.
should i go to IU, figure out what i want, and THEN transfer into one of my other choices??
the thing is that I would be in state for IU AND i would have the scholarship, whereas if I went to NYU i would be paying a whole lot more without being sure that this university would be the best place to study my selected career.

Do you think it is a good idea to study my freshman year/all of college at Indiana University and then transfer (once i narrow down my paths of study) to a more well-known school?? or would it be best just to stay at IU?

I would do this because, I’d like to save as much money as possible and since i’m not sure what i want I dont want to go to Northwestern, for example, and realize that it is not completely for me.

thankks!
