I went to ISU in Terre Haute. You will not find a much cheaper place to live than Terre Haute.
The social scene there can be iffy, especially if you have any problems with blue collar entertainment. For cultural events you will find some but Bloomington (home of IU) has lots of nice eating establishments and a decent music scene and is about 40 minutes from TH.
You also have Indianapolis about the same distance and Champaign and Chicago are not out of reach for a one-day jaunt.
ISU has a pretty good technical school and decent computer science dept. They are also well known for business and teaching curriculum.
