Freshman year Summer - PWM or Regional IB

Hi,

I am a freshman at a good non-target university in NYC. I am in a position where I can take a PWM internship at Morgan Stanley, or another internship at a boutique investment bank that specializes in microcap comanies. I am unsure what I would be doing there, but I'm sure I'd be able to spin it. I would like to end up in IB after college.

Edit: Both of these internships would be in my hometown, not NYC.
