Kenan-Flagler vs Foster

Hello.
I've been admitted to Kenan-Flagler and am waiting for a response from Foster later this month. However, I think my chances are pretty good that I get admitted. Assuming no cash from either school, which would you choose? Honestly, I really liked both schools when I visited and could definitely see myself attending either one.
I'm a journalist looking to make a transistion into tech, and would like to live on the west coast or in the southwest after graduation. For that reason, right now, I'm leaning towards Foster if I get admitted. However, K-F is the more reputable school and they do send a fair amount of people to California and Texas. Dell and Amazon are big employers. Also, living expenses are a bit less, which would help the debt load a modest amount.
But about half their grads stay in North Carolina or go to Atlanta, and I definitely don't want to do that. I think making treks out to the west coast, networking, etc. would be more difficult at K-F than at Foster. But maybe I'll change my mind (doubt it, but it's always possible) and decide that tech isn't for me. K-F would probably be more advantageous in that scenario.
What do you guys think?
