Villanova or Northeastern?

I got into both Villanova and Northeastern, looking to major in finance. However, at Northeastern, I got into the N.U.in program. I'm not sure whether studying abroad the first semester is worth it or not. How are the co-ops as a finance major? Villanova is also a great school with a well known business program. How are the areas of both? Which has the best career opportunities and networking? How is the party scene at both places? How are the students at both?

No idea about NEU placement, but Villanova's IB club placed at GS, Barclays, CS, DB, Moelis, Rothschild, Allen & Co, BMO, Jefferies, and others last year.
