OSU vs Uconn vs Bentley undergrad

I got accepted to all three schools. Uconn and OSU are the same price and I wouldnt have any debt from either, while Bentley would cost a considerable amount more; I'd probably have to take out around 40k or more in loans.

Which one should I go to if I want to maximize my chance of getting a job on the Street? Chances are I'll get an MBA anyway, so I'd go to the cheapest school, right? In that case, the question would be Uconn or OSU.

I'd appreciate any help.

Ohio State places well on the street, albeit more regionally (mid west) than in NYC. I went to school in Boston and can say that recruiting has been picking up at Bentley for a while, but I'd still say OSU places much better. UConn doesn't place well. Of course there are a handful of people who make it every now and then, but you could say that is true for just about anywhere.

 

I would go with OSU, but obviously you have to consider fit, location, family, etc. No debt is a huge plus and because you have ton of alums, you can have an upper hand in recruiting if you network enough.
