SJSU Aerospace Engineering or UC Merced CS?

Howdy CC folks, I have been scratching my head over which college to attend and I just want some outside opinion on this.

I am accepted to SJSU for aerospace engineering and CS at UC Merced. I kinda want to go to a UC and a small(?) town, I came from a small town before moving to SoCal so I would enjoy the vibe there. My parents want me to attend SJSU since the geographical location and the connection there compare to UC Merced in the middle of nowhere. I haven’t been to any of these two personally and I have no idea which one to chose, and to be honest, I am not a really social person there must be something more than just geographical location, ranking, and recognition. What are your thoughts and opinion on this?
(cost is not a problem btw.)

What major would you prefer?
