Kelley School of Business at Indiana University or University of Florida?

I am a high school senior deciding between two schools: Indiana University and University of Florida. I am from neither state and I am unsure which to choose. I want to work in a bank front office position out of undergraduate (preferably IB). I understand neither school is a target. Both schools are similar price. I am also in the Hutton Honors College at Indiana. I would try to join the Investment Banking Workshop at Indiana and the MSF Program at Florida. I know Indiana has a better history of IB Placement but also that Florida has had a lot of recent success with IB placement from the MSF program. Can anyone add insight to help me make my decision?

It's not even close. IU if you want IB at a BB in a big market. Not everyone wants that. You can do really well in IB in Charlotte / Atlanta. Your income will go waaaaay further and you may like the life style better than NY. All personal preferrence.

Also, you are young. IB sounds cool but you have no idea what you'll really want to do so be flexibile. Both are good state schools. If you're singularly looking at IB, then IU. If considering the whole college experience thing, go where you'll have more fun.
