Bentley University of Boston College?

Hi. I've been recently admitted to these two schools. I will either be an economics major at BC or finance major at Bentley University. I won't be in a business school at BC, but I will be able to take 6 finance courses from that business school on top of the required curriculum. I am having a hard time deciding, which school will actually offer me more opportunities in the future. I am a US citizen that grew up in Europe and I might want to go back there some time after graduation. Is Boston College (generally considered more prestigious) a better choice in that case? Any thoughts about what are my chances to find a finance-related job after studying economics at BC? Both schools offered me similar financial aid packages so it is not a factor in my decision.

Thanks for sharing your view. I just forgot to add that it is regarding my Undergraduate education. Is still Boston College a clear choice in that case?
