Absolutely UVA. Great program, great weather, great girls. Done.

Nice guys may not finish last but they sure don't finish first. Loyalty is not rewarded, it's taken advantage of. 
 

These are very different paths! Would love to offer more guidance if you can provide some insight into your goals. Mcintire School an outstanding school with a degree that can be "taken" many places; Cornell will be more restrictive but if you are interested in the hospitality industry an excellent choice.

Cornell hotel school is basically just a business degree. They have plenty of alums who go into finance. However, I will say that most of the people I've met from Cornell hotel aren't too bright, and you're going to have to kill it in terms of GPA considering it's a joke major where you learn to fold napkins for a grade (actual class).

 

Cornell Hotel School sends a lot of kids to Finance and RE. Also a feeder school for Top MBAs.

Also if you ever plan to go internationally (you never know), Cornell is way way better brand than UVA.
