Finance SA at Blackstone vs. Morgan Stanley

Hi everyone - I have a Summer Finance Analyst offer from Blackstone and Morgan Stanley (no word on group/division yet and won't know until after I accept).

Does anyone have advise on which one to take? I want to eventually move into a FO role (I'm a junior in college right now). Which role would set me up the best for a transition like that?

Thanks in advance!
