Parents are pushing me toward BC though because it’s more prestigious and has better job placement.

As others have said, BC is not more prestigious unless you’re counting sports.

For job placement, have you contacted both departments to see where recent grads have gone? Contact the department, not admissions. Admissions isn’t likely to know.

There’s a lot going for the (mostly) open curriculum part. It allows you to take classes that interest you rather than just checking boxes - other than for your major, of course. And if it is still the way it was, there’s one required writing class.
