I have been looking at several liberal arts colleges and I have narrowed my choices down to three. Kenyon College, Bucknell University, and Colgate University. Are any of these colleges good for pursuing a career in investment banking?

All 3 are pretty solid, based on my limited & biased personal network it appears that Colgate would set you up best, but you certainly can get to IB from all 3, although none of the three are IB shoe-ins.
Agreed Colgate would be the move for me here
Bucknell also has a decent amount of alums on the Street, but I haven't come across too many Kenyon guys on the Street.
Bucknell or Colgate for sure.
Colgate all day... I think I saw an article that they are top 10 for total HF managers....
Colgate > Bucknell > Kenyon for these three just in terms of placement
