Which school to choose

I am a sophomore at a community college. I would like to go into Investment Banking and Hedge Funds when I graduate. I applied to West Virginia University and got accepted into their college of Business and Economics. I plan to major in finance at WVU. I got into Salisbury's Perdue School of Business where I would major in finance. I got into University of Maryland College Park where I would study Economics. My GPA is not good enough to get into Smith School of Business.

WVU would be a lot of fun and I would study business but it would roughly put me 20k into debt. It is also known as a party school.

Maryland I will have no debt but I will study Economics rather than Business

Salisbury is not a known school but the Perdue Business building is brand new and very nice. No debt from Salisbury as well.

I am not sure which school I should go to. Any input would be appreciated.
