what kind of range are you working with?

considering status as a student and limited budget, likely you'd be okay with something basic. i believe there have been a couple threads here suggesting analysts shouldn't typically look too flashy so you don't want to be too elaborate/noticeable/bright/etc take a look at whatever place you get the rest of your clothes from (lots of places that sell nice shirts/suits carry links) or a decent department store will do for this situation. you can always look forward to acquiring some flashier and more expensive links as you move up the ladder

 

Like ToBankOrNotToBank said; every place that sell shirts with french cuffs sell cufflinks. If your spending, get your ass to rodeo drive, if your saving, chinese knots are fine for students imo. And there are options for every level inbetween.

You can get ones for under $50 almost anywhere that look fine. Don't get Dollar Signs are anything finance related.

Look at like TJ Maxx or Marshals or something. You're in college, no one expects haute couture.
