Which Undergrad
Of These:
Chapel Hill (20k per year, my brother is there, and I just never liked it)
Villanova (LEANING TOWARDS IT
Fordham (Full Tuition based on NMSF)
Babson (33k-40k per year)
Bentley (Like the school)
Wake Forest (60k per year, too close to home)
BYU (Pretty much a cheap, good caliber school)
Which would match this criteria the best:
-Wall Street Summer IB Analysts Internships
-Good full time offer after graduation
-Heavy Campus Recruiting
-Don't care about alumni/fraternities as you must be really popular for it to be advantageous to you
-I expect to maintain a good GPA
-Don't care about College experience as I want to go for 4 years, grind out some classes, secure some internships, and get out with a full time offer in range of bonus + base 80k-110k.
ANY HELP IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED
UNC by a mile unless Nova offers you any money, in which case UNC still might be the better option. With that said, don't just "go for 4 years and grind out some classes". Maybe try to enjoy yourself, go to some basketball games or something? You are allowed to have fun and still end up on Wall Street.
UNC for sure. And dude please don't be one of those losers who don't do anything fun in college. That'll come across so easily in interviews and if all you do is study that's lame as hell. I'd way rather work alongside the guy who was able to have fun in school and also crush it in class. Don't be one of those people who regret not having a good time in college when they're 40.
BYU could be a good fit as it sounds like you don't care about having fun (not saying Mormons don't, just that it's not the traditional college experience) and the alumni network is strong from what I've heard.
chapel hill can get you everything you're talking about plus southern belles and a great job offer.

HEELS
Carolina all the way baby
No, no, no. I did this in college, and it was one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made. Go to a good school (UNC fits that requirement) and get good grades, but have a good time. Don't be a loser like I was.
UNC
UNC or Nova. Culture/fit of university matters just like it matters for the firms. Extracurriculars / leadership in student organization is very important for resume-building and alumni connections, and those won't happen if you're hating your school. So even though everyone is tooting UNC's horn (it's a fine school), if you really don't think you'll enjoy your experience, then just go to Villanova. Not quite the same caliber of school, but plenty of kids from that school end up at NYC banks.
On this point: "Don't care about alumni/fraternities as you must be really popular for it to be advantageous to you" - Keep in mind that high school and college are very different and what makes you "popular" at one does not necessarily mean the same at the other. Plenty of kids who kept their heads down in high school end up blossoming in college and become leaders on campus. Conversely, high school idols often find themselves lost in communities that value different things. Alumni networks and campus organizations reward people who are hard-working and likeable, so don't rule yourself out so soon.
yea def don't be a nerd.
UNC, are you kidding me? How is this even a question?
Nova is overrated
Honestly though...if you're already saying you don't care about having a fun college experience and being socially adept, going to UNC isn't going to do anything for you anyways. You won't have the right personality and mindset to even enjoy the social opportunities that UNC would provide you. Change your mindset first.
If you really don't care about having fun, then choose any of the other schools besides UNC and Nova. If you're actually seeing the light now and want to have a balanced college experience, choose UNC.
I'd pick fordham if I was in your shoes since you said you don't like UNC. Nova ain't bad either.
