Ms Finance University comparison

Question

Hello All,   
  I'm an MS finance aspirant seeking admission for Fall 2022.   
  Currently, I have received admits from ASU- W P Carey school of business with $3000 scholarship and also from Ohio State University- Fisher College of Business with $15,000 scholarship.   
  I heard that Fisher is the better option for Finance.   
  Can you please help me in choosing between the two.

According to US News Rankings for business schools 2022, Arizona State's WP Carey (Read more about ASU here- https://yocket.com/universities/arizona-state-university-782 ) is ranked at #30 and Fisher's Business school (Read more about OSU here- https://yocket.com/universities/ohio-state-university-809 ) is at #33. So although rankings matter, a small difference such as this makes them evenly competitive options, and you will find no difference In the quality of education you receive at either school. 
Hence, I feel you should make the choice based on which campus you'd rather be in, what professors/ programs are interesting in each uni, total cost of attendance, safety etc.
1) If your overall cost of attendance is much lower in OSU due to that huge scholarship, you should take it without a second thought. A scholarship is an award that looks great on the CV, so it will only be a positive impact on your profile.
2) ASU's Finance course is a 9-month program and is quite expensive as per this link (https://yocket.com/universities/arizona-state-university/finance-25969 ) whereas in OSU it is a 12-month program (https://yocket.com/universities/ohio-state-university/finance-25971 ).
3) Overall, Phoenix, Arizona is 25.8% more expensive than Columbus, Ohio.
4) Ohio is also slightly safer than Arizona, so even that is important to consider.
5) Ohio can get cold during the winters, and Arizona is a hotter state in comparison.
