Which School provides best opportunities in NYC?

I am having difficulty choosing between two colleges. I love both campuses so it basically comes down to which school will open more doors and allows for more extensive networking.

I am deciding between Emory University and Villanova School of Business.

I am planning on studying Finance and hope to land a great job in NYC right out of the gate and I know the key to that is networking, internships, and some more networking.

Anyone have any thoughts as to which school is the better option?

Emory, but atlanta sucks in terms of networking in my opinion. But Robinson Humphrey does recruit IB from there.

You give me a gift? *BAM* Thank you note! You invite me somewhere? *POW* RSVP! You do me a favor? *WHAM* Favor returned! Do not test my politeness.
 

I can't really comment on Emory IB placement, but I have never met an Emory student in S&T. Even its IB placement, isn't most of it in the South. I think Villanova would be better for NYC because it is closer to NYC, easier to network, and there are MM firms in Philly that you can intern at during the school year. Also, lets not forget that Nova has our very own ANT.
