Need Advice

Current freshman at a non target, I currently have two internship offers for this summer and would like some advice, end goal is IB. First offer is from a small S&T firm, I’m currently an intern there for this spring semester and have the opportunity to join back for the summer, this is paid and is roughly an hour commute. The other internship is asset management/investment banking at a small firm, but is unpaid and roughly a 1.5 hour commute. Would love to hear what you guys would do here.
