Really Looking for Advice rn (IBD/ Consulting)

I have been accepted to three schools that seem plausible for IBD (BB) or Consulting. Northeastern, IU Kelley, and Colby College. I am very confused about each school and which one is the best for recruitment. I plan on transferring out as a sophomore (only spend freshmen year here) and applying to other top schools (USC, Vandy, Georgetown). This is more of an if I fail to transfer, where can I find the most success for IBD (BB) or Consulting. 

Other factors:
IU is the cheapest option for me at 45k and the others will cost me 80k. Money is not to much of an issue, but I'd love to save if possible.

I'd be happier in a big city. 

Not sure if my interests will change, but currently I feel very deadset on IBD/Consulting (Or at least something in the realm of finance)

Would love your guys' input on the situation. Thanks again!
