Making career decision as a student

Hello all!

I am a ChE major well into my third year. So far I have no industrial experience as I have been preparing for med school but I have since decided not to go that route. I have two offered for co-ops for Jan - Aug and I could really use some advice.

The first option is located in rural midwest (population 10,000) and would focus on water treatment. These guys really sold me. I would do everything from fixing equipment, evaluating feed systems, to sales and travelling to customers' sites. The big thing I took away from the interview was that "You would learn five years worth of experience in 8 months." The interview went on to include discussion about different chemical dosages and equipment such as cooling towers, boilers, clarification, wastewater, and process systems.

The other option has a better location in a large city up north. I would be doing project engineering, not all that related to ChE. I even know a civil engineering student who has the same job title for a coop with the same company in the spring. My first interview was with HR so many of my engineering questions weren't fully addressed, and I was never really sold on what I would learn. I had a short phone discussion with a project engineer there and he hesitated when I asked about ChE experienc specifically. I have a final interview/get to know the team early next week when they will fly my up to tour and have dinner.

What should I do exactly? I may be over-thinking it. Should I just contact the second option and cancel my travel arrangements to take the first option? I feel like location is not a priority because I would just be a student there for 8 months.

Thank you all very much for taking the time to read this
