usj vs ccsu

i'm a high school senior interested in majoring in elementary education. i'm in the top 5% of my class and have taken some college classes as a high schooler. i'm struggling to pick a college, and im stuck between usj and ccsu. ccsu is a safe option, and i feel like i won't enjoy college as much there. but usj is more expensive, but they have given me a scholarship making it almost the same amount as ccsu, but its still a few grand more expensive, which i know will add up later. i also know that teachers don't make a lot as they start, so im just really overwhelmed and confused on what to do.
