First IB Job Location

I'm a college senior currently looking for my first investment banking gig. Just curious to hear your thoughts on office location --- if I were to work in a city with little IB activity, would I be pigeonholing myself?

EDIT: I made a post like this two weeks ago, but it didn't show up in my recent posts, so I thought I never posted it. I apologize for the doubled thread.
