Confused International Student (Haas vs Home country)
I am interested in economics/finance and math. In the future I aim to create a startup or join the finance industry (IB/PE/VC/HF). Though on the surface I think I got into good colleges, I'm concerned about the startup and job opportunities in the US as an international student. Here are my choices:
- UC Berkeley Haas (Business + DS/Stats) ($85k/year)
- USC Marshall (Business + DS/Stats) ($100k/year)
- Boston University (Econ+CS) ($65k/year - Reduced cost due to merit scholarship)
- University College London (Top 5 UK) ($70k/year but 3 year degree)
- New liberal arts college in home country (Only ~15 years old) ($18k/year)
The job market in both US/UK has been bleak for a while and the US market isn't showing signs of improving for internationals with the current admin (especially in the finance domain - I've heard firms have stopped sponsoring). On the other hand, the home university is much safer from an ROI perspective and I could even use the saved capital as seed funding if I choose to startup.
Moreover, although I am lucky to be able to afford all the colleges in full without relying on loans, it is still a large enough expense/chunk of family savings (25-30% including retirement funds). Would love all advice, thank you!

Haas is the way to go, Berkeley offers great startup culture
I feel like we cant give you any more information without the most important data point of all .
What's your home country?
Studying in seoul national/ peking u / IIT /Tokyo U is very different from studying in a random underfunded overcrowded school in a failed state
