Northeastern vs Indiana for business

I only have 8 days to decide and I have no clue what school to choose. Please help!!! I want to go to a school that will get me a job in banking and ik prestige matters for this field but I also want a good fit. Cost is not a factor.

Indiana pros: Nice campus School spirit Basketball is huge there IB workshop I will have almost 30 credits from AP Far from home (don't have to visit often)

Indiana cons: Not diverse IU is not a prestigious school (78% accepted) Middle of nowhere Greek life is ride or die (considering biz frat) Party school

Northeastern pros: Boston More prestigious Less partying Near other schools (hangout with old friends) Better if I want to get a mba right away BC I have 1.5 yrs of experience High pay co-op for biz Can co-op in LA Easier to snowboard (IU also has ski club so..)

Northeastern cons: If I go I would choose 5yrs No school sport unless hockey and I care more about basketball people are in and out of the school Comp for top co-op in finance like Goldman or Morgan Stanley is heavy Social life doesn't seem that great (I want to party but not too much) If I want to transfer they would accept my NUin credits Close to home (would have to visit more often)

Thank you. Also dont look at the size of the list bc its not important. Please give feedback I'm so lost!!!
