Indiana Kelley or Binghamton HELP

I am currently committed to Indiana University and I am having some second thoughts about whether or not it is the best decision career-wise. I would like to ultimately land a career in banking, private equity, or even private credit. However, attending the university will leave me with about ~$60K of student loans by the time I graduate, whereas Binghamton University would leave me with 0 debt as I am an in-state resident. Attending Indiana I will be on the pre-business/finance track so I am not even guaranteed a spot into the business school, where Binghamton I think would be much easier to land a spot in their business school. Please let me know your thoughts on my current situation and if Indiana would be worth the debt given its business school name, or I should just attend the cheaper alternative with a lesser name. Thank you.
