Rutgers-Newark vs Pitt Forum

I know both of these schools have been discussed a million times on this board. But I'd love some perspective on which of these schools would be a better choice in order to work in government. I'm from the New York area so I'd like to stay around here, but I've been told that Pitt places well in DC (went to undergrad there, would move back with no hesitation after law school).

Pitt would cost slightly more, as it appears that I would only be eligible for PA residency after my first year, but I imagine cost of living would help with that differential. I'm open to working for pretty much any facet of government, so I'm pretty much just interested in which school would open more doors. Thanks for any help in advance.

Trying to make a decision soon; any insight is appreciated.
