College choices: IU, Villanova, Boston College, William and Mary

Hi everyone,

I got into William and Mary, Boston College, IU, and Villanova University.

I'm in state for William & Mary and have to pay full price for BC and Villanova. IU will cost roughly 40k a year. However, my parents are willing to help me out for BC or Villanova. I got into the business schools of all of these universities. In regards to fit, I think BC is best.

I'm interested in a career in investment management and possibly investment banking. Which school is the best for breaking into FO finance roles?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
