VCU and Elon University?

Both schools gave me the same amount of money. I visited both schools and liked both schools. VCU is where I would fit in but Elon seems like it has a better reputation and I’m just wondering if I would get a better education there since it is a way smaller school and because my major is political science. Is elon THAT much better than VCU that I should give up the social life advantage of going to VCU?

Both schools are full ride
