UCI v. SDSU Criminology???

I’m currently a high school senior and I need to decide what school I’m committing to by the end of this month. I’m in between SDSU and UCI as a criminology major and I literally have no clue what to choose. I know that at first glance a UC degree might be more “prestigious” but I don’t want that to be the only deciding factor. I’ve heard that UC are more research oriented which is not what I really want for my career path but I just need some help figuring out which school actually has the better major.
