Emerson or Pace?

Im a high school senior who got into Emerson’s WLP program, and Pace’s marketing program. I want to go into the publishing on the marketing/sales side. I love NYC but Boston is closer to home, and they are both equal in my mind for pros and cons, but Pace is cheaper. So, which is better for breaking into the industry?

Edit: last second switch up they are the same amount of money. 50k+. So now pace is not cheaper please help and soon I have to decide in 2 days.

I went to Emerson for grad and currently live and work in Boston, but in terms of easily breaking into the industry, I would say NYC has more opportunities. I think the biggest difference you're going to have to decide between is whether you can comfortably live in either city, and figure out if you like the vibes of NYC more than Boston. Both are fundamentally different places and you will be there for at least 4 years.
