Rice or CMU for undergrad?

Currently high school senior deciding where to go for undergrad: Rice or CMU. I'm planning to major in (pure) math and do a Masters, and maybe PhD as well, with the goal of getting into quant at some point.

Which undergrad school will offer a better / easier path for internship, as well as future quant full time job?
