Is the information sciences + data science as really bad as they say it is?

Just to put into context, I was accepted with about 15-20k of aid with about 7k from the FAFSA and 6k from the office itself. In total, it would be around 45k to attend UIUC.

I just wanna know if I should even consider going to UIUC for this major as an Oos applicant when I can go to Rutgers for 15K for data science.
