Northwestern or Vanderbilt

I recently was accepted to NU and Vandy as a sophomore level transfer student from a non-target T30 school. I am interested in IB preferably in NYC but I am also content working in Chicago, I would rather be up north rather than down south post-grad. Both schools have investment banking clubs for networking purposes but I am curious if anyone can offer more input on representation of both schools on the street and how the schools are viewed in regards to course rigor, etc. I am currently an economics major at both schools. Thank you in advance.

I only found one thread talking about these two schools and wanted to see if there is any new info.
