Undergraduate: Notre Dame vs USC vs Kelley vs Boston College vs Nova

So as you probably know, this is the time when high school students are starting to make their college decisions. So in that spirit, these are my choices (listed above).

I'm looking to major in Finance (potentially with a double major/minor in mathematics) and have been accepted to all of the above business schools. As an international student, I do not qualify for any aid so the costs are relatively the same. Additionally, it is very important to me that the school I pick has a strong international reputation (especially in Europe). I also want to participate in the "college experience" so a school with a solid social scene would be very much preferred. Lastly, it is important that the school I choose provides me with solid connections and opportunities for job placement, preferably on the street.

Thanks in advance for any input...
