Is Georgia Tech Worth the Added Debt for an Aerospace Engineering Degree?

[Dedouls]

I am a SC resident looking to get into aerospace engineering. I have been accepted to both Clemson and Georgia tech as a transfer student but which school should I attend considering the following:
-Clemson does not have an undergrad aerospace program while GT's is rated in the top 5 internationally
-Clemson will cost me ~5-10,000 a year where GT will be ~30-40,000 a year
-I plan to attend grad-school
My big question is the added debt that I will accrue at GT worth it
will the GT name and the career specific degree outweigh the cost

I say go to Clemson and save a lot of money just because you are an in-state student. Plus I love how the whole city is built around the school.

How do you plan to get into aerospace engineering if your school doesn't have a program in it?

My understanding is that a large number of aerospace engs. do mechanical eng. as their undergrad and move from there, though I might be wrong.

OK, let's go one more level, then. Why do you think a graduate school in aerospace engineering will accept you over a candidate with a degree in aerospace engineering?
