Bc vs nova

I am transferring for my Sophomore year, and I am stuck between Villanova and Boston College. I am on a Pre-med track, and I majored in Chem last year, but I am considering switching to Poli Sci for law school. I got a dorm at BC, but not Nova. I feel like that is important to help meet people. I live close enough to Nova than I could commute though. I want to get out of my hometown to prove to myself that I can de independent, but I don’t know if it’s worth turning down Nova solely based on that desire.
Any advice?

Do both schools cost the same? I guess BC is more since you will live home for Villanova? Is this for January 2021?
