Small Private Schools

Hi, I am wondering what everybody thinks of going to a smaller liberal arts school for undergrad? I can go to Seattle U or Santa Clara under full scholarship, and major in finance in both a small private school. I will also probably be able to go to University of Washington, but I might have to major in econ, and it is a large public school, and I am unsure about the quality of education compared to a small private school. However, UW is ranked much higher. Which choice would be better in the future for West coast finance and business schools? Would I be losing out by going to the lower ranked private schools?
