Purdue VS DePaul for Finance

Hi everyone,
I joined this community after reading a great deal on these forums. I am currently looking to transfer out of my community college into a finance program as a junior. I am deciding between Purdue and DePaul for the most part, because that is what my GPA allows. I have also considered Lake Forest College, a small school close to my home. The prices for all three are very similar but I was leaning towards DePaul because I would prefer to stay close to home, however, if Purdue would be significantly better, then I would make the move to go there. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
