Villanova vs. Boston University

Hello all, I've narrowed down my college search to two schools: Villanova and Boston University BU's Cost of Attendance is about 65K, and I received about 53K (so I would pay about 12K) Nova's Cost of Attendance is about 60K, and I received about 54K (so I would pay about 6K)

I'm planning on majoring in Finance, although I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with that. So, which school do you think will give me better opportunities. And also, which school, when it comes time to find a job will provide me with more recruitment and prestige behind my diploma. Essentially, which school is better lol.

Thank you in advance.
