UCSC or Utah state

So I have offers from both colleges and will be choosing out of the two. Here’s my situation I live in Utah and close to the university meaning I can commute back and forth so will save money on that. Also in general the tuition for Utah is a cheaper than ucsc which will be a big burden off my parents shoulders.
So which should I choose? Both offer the major I want to pick. The only thing I can think of that ucsc has over usu is that it is a better u ivers it’s situated in a city where there is more opportunity. So what should I do? I need advice. Go to Utah where it will e a lot more affordable or ucsc, which is simply a better uni.

Save money. Go to Utah State.
