finance

hey! can yall help me choose between three colleges for a major in finance. Indiana University ( Pre-business), Penn state 2+2 program ( i will have to attend an alt penn state campus, berks first two years and then will proceed to go to university park for the final two years) or going to an in state college in georgia, Georgia State Uni/ Georgia Southern Uni or Kenessaw University and then transfer to a target school hopefully (risky).

Indiana University:
I am not in kelley and will have to maintain a high consistent gpa throughout my first year to get in kelley. Futhermore i will have to likely take out a 80k loan for indiana for the 4 years spent. But i can get the brand name when applying for internships of indiana.

Penn state:

Will have to spend first 2 years in an alt campus (Berks) not sure how bad it will look on my resume when applying for internships etc in investment banking etc. Will have to take out a minimal loan of 25-30k$

Georgia In state college:
Georgia State/ Georgia Southern/ Kenessaw

free so no loans, will have to maintain a high gpa so i can transfer into a good target school. Con is that if i dont get into a good target uni I will be in a lower ranked college, or if not i can transfer to UGA as its fairly easier to get into uga as a transfer applicant
