Freshmen Year Internship

Hi so I am currently a freshman at a target school and am facing a dilemma for figuring out what I should do this summer. I currently have two offers for a summer internship this summer. The first one is in a neighboring city (about 2 hours away in Florida) for a global wealth management internship at a pretty big bank (not one of the BB but still very large). This is a great opportunity but I would have to live away from home for the summer. The position is hybrid so I would be able to come home for the weekends and some days. On the other hand I have an offer as an Accounting/Finance Intern at a small engineering company near my house. This will probably be one of the only summers I will get to be with my family and friends, but I don't know if I can pass up the opportunity. On the other hand I do get paid more at the wealth management position and will be home for part of the week. The ultimate goal is to get into Investment Banking in NY, but during this cycle a lot of my friends I have talked to have stated that less people have been getting NY IB offers. Is it worth it to take the wealth management position and will it help my overall application to a BB later in career?
