Notre Dame or Imperial for Quant/Trading roles in the US

Hi,

my nephew has offers from both Imperial (Elec Engineering) and Notre Dame( undeclared major) for this upcoming fall. He is interested in getting into a trading role such as commodities trading/fixed income trading/quant and to a lesser extent a high finance role in ER/PE. 

His preference is to go to Imperial due to its reputation and the opportunity to study in London and studying engineering as that is what he is most interested in. Though the concern is how US employers will view his foreign university and degree when applying for internships and recruiting, do you think going to Imperial over ND is a bad choice? 

In another scenario, is it possible achieve the same through attending ND?

Note: He has work authorization in both the US & UK

Thanks!
