How would you invest a huge windfall if you just graduated from college?

Hi,

So I'm currently a senior in high school and I'm in the middle of the college application process. But, to cut to the chase, my parents basically have set aside $300k for me to go to college (basically full cost of attendance for any private college/top out of state schools) They have told me that if I get any scholarships I can keep the remaining amount once I graduate from college. I have performed well on the PSAT, so I would get a half-tuition (~25k a year) scholarship at USC or a full cost of attendance scholarship at UF. I also recently got into Rutgers, which would be very cheap as well (Less than 20k a year cuz of scholarships). Either way, I would have a significant amount of money that I could invest in my future. I did some preliminary research with compound interest stuff and looked into municipal bonds (which would give a decent bonus every year tax-free). If you were in my situation, what options would you consider? Also do think that you would pick a school like USC over UF (even if it's 200k total more) since I want to work somewhere in finance?

Thanks
