IU Kelley vs Babson for IB for Undergrad

Hi, my current match schools are Indiana University Kelley and Babson. I know IU is not prestigious overall, but the Kelley school is highly ranked, and the investment banking workshop seems to be excellent for recruiting. I have heard Babson is a semi-target and good for IB in Boston and somewhat good for NYC. I honestly do not know where I want to go for IB. I am leaning towards NYC, but Boston and Chicago are both great cities. IU is significantly cheaper than Babson. OOS tuition is around 35k, and Babson's is around 55k. I prefer IU's social scene (big football and basketball games, great party scene, big student population) but I think the smart and hard-working atmosphere of Babson would be beneficial.

Go to IU and have a good undergrad experience. I’ve heard that Babson has some of the snobbiest kids you’ll ever meet. Boston is already competitive enough (Harvard, MIT, BC, BU).
