Transfer to USC or Northeastern

I'm currently at a SUNY school pursuing a finance major but haven't had any luck with internships. Going into junior year, I have these two choices to pick from. I'm deciding if its even worth it to switch to any of these for IB.

USC would be an economics major with a possible minor in finance. It seems most placements by this school are on the west coast.

Northeastern would be a finance major (concentration as they call it) but the benefit of this school is that they help extensively in matching students to internships (not sure if IB falls into this category) over the summer.

I am currently in the same boat. I have to pick between USC and another school

Tough decision...
