Choosing between Emerson and Mizzou

Right now, I have not decided whether to attend University of Missouri or Emerson College. I like the fact that Emerson is located in a large city because I would have a lot of internship opportunities without the commute…Missouri, on the other hand, is 2 hours and 30 minutes from St. Louis and probably does not have a lot of internship opportunities. My parents are very interested in me going to Missouri because they believe the networking program will be larger and better than the Emerson College networking program. Is this true? Asking for some alumnis to step in and help answer this one!
