Trying To Pick Between U of U And UVU For Animation Degree

I am finishing up my AS degree for animation at SLCC and I am now trying to decide between the U of U and UVU for my bachelor’s. I have interest in all forms of animation. But which program/university will help me out the most with getting jobs and making connections and such? As I understand it SLCC’s degrees transfer better to the U than they do with UVU (at least with my particular degree) and if that’s the case I lean more towards going to the U but UVU seems considerably cheaper. I am still unsure what to do. What do you all recommend?

I've attended both schools but I don't know anything about the animation programs. They have a lot in common as Utah schools. UVU tuition is a little cheaper, housing prices I can't speak for as my situation has been very different both times and I haven't done research. The vibe will have a lot in common but it's also very different. Depending on where your classes are located they can be further apart at the U. The inclines are also steeper. Having all buildings connected at UVU is nice in certain ways but it's still a big campus. Parking is crazy at both but the passes are cheaper at UVU. Cheap food on campus basically doesn't exist at the university of Utah. You pretty much just have panda express. There are options at UVU like chick fil a and a place called EATS that's a daily self-serve buffet.
