College choice for B.A. in General Psychology

I'm currently a high school senior and I've applied to these schools:

Rutgers (in-state)
NYU (CAS, not Steinhardt)
Drexel
UDel
Temple
Lehigh
Vassar
Lafayette

Which one would be best for a B.A. in general psychology? I'm lucky enough to have parents who can easily afford any of these schools, but they'd rather choose a cheaper school like Rutgers over a more expensive one if it won't make a difference in my education, competitiveness for grad school, or job prospects.

Rutgers for sure

Cheap is good. Nobody cares where you got your psychology bachelors.

Might make a small difference if you're applying for competitive PhD programs later, but really it's not the school name, it's what you are driven to accomplish.

What do you want to do after your BA/BS degree? If you want to go to grad school, which schools have active research labs that utilize undergrad research assistants?
