Vanderbilt vs. Colgate for Investment Real Estate

I'm a freshman in college that is currently in the transfer process. Right now I've been accepted to Vanderbilt, Colgate and William and Mary (which has been eliminated) and I'm unsure between Colgate and Vanderbilt. Money is a non-factor and my goal would be to procure a better future in Investment Real Estate (intern and out-of-UG job). Finally, I also applied to Georgetown MSB and would obviously go if given the opportunity. What would be the best option between Vandy and Colgate?
