Many biology majors are pre-med/dent/vet/pharma. Are you? If so, choose the cheap one, and save money for med/dent/vet/pharma school. If you aren’t interested in any of those, and you are looking at maybe going to grad school in bio, then there also is a lot of value in keeping your costs down. A good PhD program will be fully funded, but it will probably be followed by many years as an underpaid post-doctoral student.
