New York or Chicago would probably be good depending on your interest. New York is the capital for securities (think stocks and bonds) and is also the US center for OTC derivatives. Chicago is the world center for futures and options. However, the majority of trading these days are done electronically and there is not much of a need anymore for traders to geographically locate themselves on the exchange floor.

I would probably suggest New York if you can afford it (the hotels are really expensive there relative to Chicago). You can easily go on visits of the NYSE and NY Fed. You should also see if you have any alumni working at any banks or firms that could hook you up with a visit and meetings with people to learn more. I know this is what my college did when they took us on a trip to NYC for our business honors program. Otherwise, look for connections with people that can hook you up with a little visit to a bank's trading desk or something.

I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff—I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them.

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately we are a fairly new school (founded 2008) and have no alumni in finance at the moment...
