Uconn MSFRM VS Fordham MSGF

Hi everyone, Currently, I have trouble in choosing between Uconn MSFRM program and Fordham MSGF program. I want to land my first job in US after graduation. I think I like the curriculum setting and program length (15-19 months) of UConn. But it seems that its alumni resources is not that strong as Fordham in New York. I really like NYC because I like the cultural atmosphere here. MSGF of Fordham is 12 months long and the curriculum is not so hardcore. I am afraid that it is very difficult for international students to find a job in just one year. Basiclly, I think the placement rate of Uconn is much higher.( 85% placement rate three-month after graduation and 45% placement rate in US for international students) but Fordham has the kind of life I pursued. Can you give me some advice? Is it really hard for an international student for an internship or job in NYC in one year?

Thank you and look forward to your advice !

In addition, Uconn MSFRM program is in stamford campus, which takes only 40 minutes to NYC and 10-20 minutes to Greenwich. Greenwich is home to many hedge funds and other financial service firms.
