Weighing two different IBD internship offers

Hey guys. I have recently received two summer internship offers from two MM firms. One is based in NY and the group is DCM. The other one isn't based in NY or a large city and the group is Real Estate. My ultimate goal is venture capital or private equity, which opportunity do you think would be the better option for me? I am leaning towards DCM in NY because I'd rather be in NY and I feel like the networking opportunity is way better, but I feel like being in a industry group is better than a product group when I'm first starting out.

With VC/PE as one of the end goals, I feel like M&A group would be most ideal group to switch into later. Let me know your thoughts!
