What school should I go to for Biological Sciences, Penn State-University Park or RPI

<p>I cant decide which college I want to go to. RPI is 2 and a half hrs away from me and Penn state is 5. RPi offered me 11,000 but the original cost is 60,000. My parents want e to go to RPI because they sad it sounds better and more prestigious. THey believe that it is a smarter school, they like it because its not a state or university. THey said that graduating from RPI looks much better than from Penn state and it will get me further in life. Can someone please help me? Any opinions on the matter?</p>
