Location of BB PWM

I'm just wondering how much location will matter for PWM.

Let's say I have a house in a small-ish city (such as Boulder, San Jose, Portland, etc) and I have found an unpaid internship for BB PWM at a regional branch in my city. I also have an unpaid internship from the same BB for PWM at a larger financial hub (think San Francisco, Chicago, Boston).

Which one should I choose? Note that I would have to pay rent for summer housing (couple thousand dollars) in the financial hub, while at the small branch I could just live at home. Would the experiences at these internships be that different?
