AU vs UMD

Hi,

I'm currently a sophomore at American University and I'm majoring in Finance. The thing is I applied to the University of Maryland's business school and I got in. I was really interested in one of their Fellow programs, which is the reason I applied, since AU does not offer any interesting opportunities related to Finance. I know UMD's business school is better regarded than AU's. However, AU's location is far better than UMD's. I've had a good amount of internships and a good network thanks to AU and my GPA Is 3.7. So taking all of this into account what should i do?? Should I transfer to UMD or stay at AU?? In terms of finding jobs related to finance, which university would be better?
