How did you choose your office location?

Thinking about where to apply for next years cycle and I'm unsure which locations to make my  top choices. NYC seems like a safe bet because that's the epicenter and where most of my friends will be after graduation. But, the west coast has a lot more tech deals and much better weather (which I imagine makes the IB grind slightly more bearable).

Would appreciate the thought process that you went through when deciding an office location.
