Undergraduate Questions

I am a rising high school senior looking to major in either Business, Finance, or Economics. I live in Hawaii and there are only a few investment management firms here, and along with the time difference with the markets, I don't think I would like to stay here to go to college.

Would it be better to go to a college on the east coast or near New York for internship and opportunities or would it be fine to go to a college on the west coast instead? Also which specific colleges would you guys recommend?
