University of Rochester versus UT Austin

I am applying as an undergraduate this year, and my current major is sociology,but I will surely transfer into something to do with STEM. UT Austin is famous for its location and plenty of opportunities of internship and work while Rochester is famous for research opportunity and atmosphere. Which should I choose?

Whichever you prefer. Also consider cost differences, weather differences, and size differences coupled with your preferences.

I indeed consider those. But I don’t know what is more important in my future life.
