BU vs. Brandeis

I got into both and I don’t know what to do, they are both very different and similar at the same time!! I want to do a double major in econ and IGS (which is IR in BU), both offer similiar study abroad and internship opportunities. My major concerns about BU is grade deflation and that I may be treated as a number rather than a student. After college I am planning going to Kennedy grad school at Harvard so I need great grades and a prestigious college, is it very common for BU students? PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Also I may have the opportunity to apply for merit scholarship at Brandeis next year while BU’s scholarships are all already taken
