IU Kelley vs. BC Carroll

Looking to major in Economics and eventually pursue IB after college. Deciding between Indiana University Bloomington (Kelley) and Boston College (Carroll). I've been reading through hours of posts here and everyone seems fairly split on Kelley, saying it is not prestigious enough or doesn't send enough people to IBs. It's also pretty much required that I get into the Investment Bank Workshop (IBW) at Kelley if I want to meet good recruiters, which is somewhat competitive

IU Kelley ~40k

BC Carroll ~48k

What are your thoughts? The setting doesn't matter as much to me as the education itself

Also consider BC for AM. Boston is the mecca for mutual funds and many HFs / PE shops too. Major firms include Fido, Wellington, MFS, Putnam, Eaton Vance, John Hancock. Lots of corp fin opportunities at major companies if you change your mind about banking. All the treasury/ asset management jobs in the insurance industry in Hartford. The Boston -NY corridor is pretty hard to beat for employment and BC places very well all over it.

 

Thanks for the great advice. I definitely like BC's locational advantage over IU and I'll be reading more into the different sectors you provided

 

BC. IU can definitely get you where you want to be but I think the ~$30k of extra fees (small dollars in the long run) at Carroll are worth it given the location and prestige. IU, as you can imagine is a huge party school and has great Greek life, and everyone I know who went there enjoyed it but don't know anyone who went to BC who didn't enjoy their time there either. I'd personally prefer Boston to Bloomington. All the other posters have brought up some valid points.
