Corporate Banking?

I am a rising sophomore at a Target school interested in finance but not wanting to go into IB because I want to have a life. Can someone explain corporate banking recruiting? What I need to know + where to start studying? How it differs from IBD? What corporate bankers do? And top firms? Just explain everything please.
