Deciding between NYU, UNC, and Villanova undergrad finance programs

High school senior accepted into all three universities; hope to pursue a career in investment banking/ portfolio management. I've received amazing financial aid from all three so money is not a huge factor. Looking more at which has the best networking abilities for a career after college, as well as offering the most enjoyable overall college experience.

 

UNC would give you the best "college experience" of the three. From everyone I know at NYU there's virtually no school spirit.

That being said, if you got into NYU Stern and want to work in IB you'd be stupid to choose one of the other two.

 

Transfer option isn't guaranteed and well.. you have to transfer. I'd stick to NYU or UNC. NYU Stern > Cornell anyways (raw placement & recruiting is the same if not better at stern)
