What the move for college

Hello everyone, I just had some questions regarding where I should go for college to be the most prepared for a career working in finance. Currently I have been accepted as a direct admit to Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, and also to NYU Shanghai. I am still waiting to hear back from other schools, but NYU Shanghai requires me to make a decision by January 5th, so right now I'm really just considering between these two schools. I have done some research and I'm aware that there is the fisher futures program at OSU, which is growing and has a high placement rate to many BBs and some EBs. I really can't find anything regarding NYU Shanghai on this forum due to its location and it being a relatively new university. However, I have heard that the network I make there will not be as helpful for me back in the states, compared to OSU, and that a lot of Chinese firms do not hire foreigners. Not considering money, I would like to hear from you guys what you think the pros and cons of each school (especially NYU Shanghai) are and their opportunity costs.

Thank you guys so much for your time!
