US best MSF for international students

Guys, actually I'm a summer intern in a PE fund. Eu citizen. Bachelor in France.

I would like to attend a MSF for live and work in US.

To you, which program really worth?

From what I've seen, I considered: **UTA MSF, Vandy MSF, Boston College MSF, Fordham MSF, Baruch MSF, UCLA MFE, Brandeis MSc Finance. **

Goal is to work in city such as NYC, Boston, Houston, Philly. (I prefer NYC or Boston btw)

Do you have advices?

PS: Money is a problem but I'll try to take Loans and scholarship. Given this problem i discarded Columbia or similar ivy league. Best value for money

If money is a problem, why not go to Europe? Many better programs there at a cheaper cost. It's also easier to get a long term work Visa - and if you're an EU citizen, even better.

 

I'm European but I would like to work and live in US, so I'm finding the best value for money MSF. Attending an MSF in EU/UK worth if I continue there. MIT cost a lot of money Bentley is good and Fordham MSGF is STEM and in the heart of NYC. Do you know Fordham? Thank you Finner
