Strictly comparing schools, Colorado due to in-state tuition and more prestige. But, it seems like you vibe more with the culture/atmosphere at Creighton.

What are your career interests/goals? The new curriculum that Colorado is rolling out provides plenty of opportunities to tailor your education for your future career. I'm not as familiar with Creighton's curriculum.

100% Colorado due to location, reputation, and cost.
