Choosing MSF program: USC, BC, JHU

Hi, I am an undergrad from a decent business undergrad in CA.
I have been accepted to USC, BC, and Johns Hopkins for an MSF.
I am interested in hearing what advice everyone has about where to attend.

I know that Johns Hopkins is not the top school out of these, but I am leaning towards it. I would prefer to live in DC as it is closer to home and the area could have great internship/job opportunities.
I visited BC and while I know the program is good, I didn't feel like the school was the right fit. Does anyone have anything strong feelings?
