IMHO you should only be worried about building a nice CV since you're an undergrad.

Goldman is the place to be an intern, no matter the division/place of work.

Agreed. Right now you're not looking at where to start your career, you're looking at what internship will allow you to have the best offers that fit your needs out of school. Goldman, hands down.

But what are my options after this summer? I heard Market Risk is very narrow and its hard to get out of

It depends. If you have GS in your CV, your options will probably be the ones that you will want to be. Just FYI, I know a partner in a B4 whose background for clients says "XXX came in 1999 from JP Morgan...".

He was an intern there, but not all the people have the privilege to work for either JP or GS, it says a lot.

 

Goldman, no questions. It will without a doubt help develop your personal brand. Also if its 20 mins from your home you should still have your friend group from there, right?

That $1500 signing bonus alone will buy you a roundtrip ticket to most places in the world. You can fly to Boston and hang for a week if you really wanna check it out or even better go somewhere cool like Amsterdam.

 

Get Goldman on your resume. This is only a summer internship so employers won't hold it against you if come out of there not exactly perfectly matched to your future career (which might still change anyway). Definitely worth the 10 weeks or whatever to establish your brand and save $$$ while commuting from home. I went to a non-target and I will tell you that company brand has helped keep me in the game for my career, so much so that I'm very particular about where I go moreso than what I get to do-assuming there isn't a game-changing difference in compensation and it isn't work I absolutely hate.
