HELP!! Williams College or UT Austin (McCombs)?

I was recently accepted into both McCombs (non honors) and Williams College. My post grad plan is to work in investment banking in NYC. Where should I go? Cost isnt a factor.

Any advice is appreciated!

mccombs placed 100+ ppl this year into nyc; its certainly very achievable and if you rly want a good college experience like socially and sports wise its a perfect place but williams is good too

 

Both place grads into IB in NYC. Very different types of college experiences, one urban, large public school, more diverse student body, serious sports; the other small, private, rural, more prep-school based. Which do you prefer?
