Wisconsin-Madison vs UIUC

Hi,

before I get into my question, I'm Korean student, with F1 visa (no green card).

I'm planning to go to UW Madison or UIUC.

In terms of job opportunities, I chose accounting as my major. (And I do also want to work in wall street.)

I know they neither are targets. (Maybe what about in chicago?)

Which one would you recommend?

Plus, I would deeply appreciate any piece of advice regarding school decision. I'm becoming a freshman in UW-milwaukee this January 2019. I desperately need feedbacks.

Thank you very much.
