Fordham VS GWU

I got accepted into Fordham and GWU.
I want to study business.

Fordham is in NYC, which is an amazing city. I’m an international student and my father recently bought an apartment in Manhattan which is 20 minutes away by car for Rose Hill Campus. So I guess my parents will be coming to NYC at least two weeks every year/ And since my dad has businesses in NYC, I will have a high chance of getting a great internship.

As for GWU, it is in DC, and the location is tempting enough for me. It is ranked higher than Fordham and has a more international student body. I will be really far from home, and therefore I’ll need a good amount of friends to keep me going.
Dc is two to three hours away from NYC by car, so I’m not sure how much I’ll be seeing my parents when they do go to NYC.

Any opinions or advice?
BTW I also got accepted at Baruch College, NEU, LMU and waitlisted at Babson.
I would really appreciate it if you share your thoughts.

Thank you!
