I'd look a bit more deeply into figuring out which school is a better social and academic fit. Freshman are hard pressed to get playing time and unless you have social opportunities and classes/major opportunities which absorb you, putting all your eggs into the baseball basket is risky. Commuter schools and residential schools have totally different atmospheres; commuter schools are tough for first year students who are not living at home.
(I would express my disagreement with the concept that courses are the same regardless of college; the book may be the same, but the teaching, environment, resources, tests, and depth are not the same across the board. If it were true that it's all the same, companies would simply throw darts at a board in determining which colleges should be tapped for future employees. A quick look at the rosters of companies which appear on campus and jobs they are seeking to fill during job season demonstrate the differences employers believe exist.)
