(Yes this is a genuine question)

.....................................................................................................

Should I go to UCLA for pre-business economics or CSULB for pre-business finance? UCLA would cost be about 11.5k a year to attend (will be taking out 5k in loans) and CSULB is practically free for me to attend and the major is directly finance. I understand that UCLA is better for networking and job prospects in the field but I really want to avoid taking out loans...

How screwed would I be if I were to go to CSULB over UCLA and what would you choose?
