Exchange in the US

Hey there! I am a European finance student and next year I am going to be an exchange student. Regarding where to go, I was thinking about either New York University (Stern) and Wharton. Which one would you suggest? And more importantly, is the exchange university going to make any difference on the CV or not? 'cause I believe Wharton has more prestige but New York is New York....! I can also go to other countries, like Canada (Montreal, Vancouver), Australia (Sydney, Melbourne) and Asian ones (Singapore).

In my opinion, the quality of the exchange university usually wouldn't have a major impact, but if the school is one of the best business schools in the world it may stand out on your resume. That being said, go to Wharton if you can. Philly is a cool city and NYC is only like an hour away by train.
