College Decisions

I am a high school senior deciding between colleges to attend. I have been accepted to these schools and these are the main schools I am considering. Cost is a major concern because I do not want to be up to my neck in debt like the typical college kid.

Cost: UMD-25k per year IU-35k per year BC-70k per year NOVA-65k per year

I’m looking more to break into IB and have some connections already in the DC area. Any and all advice would be appreciated. Any advice about transferring would be helpful as well.
