Northwestern vs Vanderbilt for IB (undergrad)

i'm a transfer student and was recently accepted to both schools. i'm hoping to work at a BB in NYC after graduation.
i realize that northwestern is probably a bit better for banking, but i definitely prefer vandy's social scene, campus, weather, and semester system. but, i like NU's location, type of people, and surrounding area a bit more, so i'm pretty torn. 

i know there probably isn't a huge difference in terms of banking recruitment, but does anyone have any advice or experience in regards to which one i should pick?

 

If you’re a prestigie guy go NW, but if you’re looking to get basically the same exits, maybe a little more work, but enjoy school more go with Vandy. I think personally I would go for NW because that is how I roll, but it seems like you like Vanderbilt better so maybe that’s better suiting for you. Just my 2 cents 

 

Both are better known for consulting, however I’d suggest northwestern. Also, for recruitment most applicants at Northwestern are funneled into Chicago, one of America’s biggest financial hub. Most Vandy students end up in Charlotte, Nashville, or Atlanta…

 

Vandy if you wanna get laid, have a good time, good weather, and have a chill college experience with similar outcomes.

NW if you are prestige oriented and dont really like tailgating/partying and the southern atmosphere.

Also, what were your stats? Congratulations
