MSF Advice !

Hey guys ! Hope you guys are doing great ! This is me posting my first query so excuse my lack of WSO jargons.

I am an international student currently looking for a great MSF within the USA.

Since my approach is more STEM centric, i've narrowed down on MIT, Fordham, Rochester, USC, BU and Vanderbilt.

My question is: which university should I am for that'll will be the best from a job/internship perspective ? (ex: Fordham is in the heart of NYC so its seeming most attractive after MIT ofcourse).

While USC are UC-SD is on the west coast, I assume the quality of life to be much better but i'm not too sure about the job opportunities, but I'd like your input.

*I am a CFA level 2 candidate and a former Risk analyst at EY.

I'd appreciate the help guys ! thanks !
