Which school should I choose?

I am a high school student and choosing a college. Because of not applying to prestigous schools I am limited to the only two I have applied to. One is a little known Southern liberal arts school with no recruiting but I would play a varsity sport and the other is the university of arkansas with only one investment bank who recruits from there. I would probably either transfer out after two years or get a MSF. Which school should I choose?

It totally depends on your goals. Are you trying to get drunk and holler at as many girls as possible? Arkansas. Are you trying to get the best education and still get drunk and holler at girls? Liberal arts.

However, if the liberal arts school doesn't even have an Econ degree, that could be a deal-breaker. That may just be personal preference, though, since I really hated Accounting.
