if ur interested in chicago, the banks here take a bunch of kids from nd
Nd for sure
ND for sure.
These are wildly different schools - arguably polar opposites.
I doubt an individual would be socially happy at both
Both are big schools, especially Berkeley. There are people who could find their people in both.
One has 32k undergrad - the other has 9k
go back to Reddit you can’t be serious
Like 6 or 7 family members of mine went to ND. I haven't heard a single bad thing about their social lives from when they were there. It's also described as a cult, but kind of in a good way. Alumni seem to always look out for each other and the community.
If you're into sports, football games in South Bend are pretty awesome. I've been to a couple and always had a good time even though I didn't go there.
would go to Berkeley, major in CS, and recruit for IB and SWE
There is no CS anymore
Not credit suisse, computer science
For IB, either one is fine and is moreso based on where you want to work (West Coast vs Chicago).
For anything else (Tech, Consulting, VC, etc), for sure, pick Berkeley as it's much more renowned and respected generally
If you have any interest in tech, tech IB or MM HF, Berkeley is easily the top choice. If you are generally interested in finance, ND may be better since you are direct to Mendoza, but I would choose which school you will be happier with. I also think ND has a slightly higher absolute number of IB placements, but partially because so many people at Berkeley select for consulting and MM HF (Point72 and Citadel both heavily do OCR for fundamental HF roles as well as the obvious quant OCF)
Here are some Berkeley placements from some of the more notable finance clubs:

ND and it isn't even close. Look up their career outcomes for finance majors, it's pretty crazy.
What is the crazy part? The top ND employers are PwC, Deloitte, and Epic Games right how is that not close?
EDIT: Median salary for Mendoza Finance was $85k and $88k for Haas for class of 2021.
Filter by finance majors only…
congrats on nd
