IU Kelley vs Rutgers Business School for undergrad?

I'm a senior in high school and I got accepted into IU Kelley and Rutgers Business School (New Brunswick) and I'm not sure which one I should go to. I am in-state for Rutgers and it would cost about 22k a year, while IU would cost 47k a year. I got accepted into the SAS honors program at Rutgers (not the honors college), and I was also accepted into the Hutton Honors College at IU. I am not sure if I want to do IB or some other finance job after college. Kelley is the more prestigious school, but is it worth an extra 25k a year? I plan on emailing the financial aid office at IU to see if they can offer me more money.

First off, change your username to something anon. Took me like ten seconds to find your MileSplit lmao.

Secondly, I'd go to Rutgers. Just makes more sense here.

 

Is Kelley still a good option for finance if I'm not going into IB? From what I see in other posts most people only talk about the Investment banking workshop.
