UNC vs Boston College vs Villanova vs Fordham Undergraduate

I am currently a high school senior and I plan on studying finance/accounting as a double major. Currently, I am between UNC chapel hill, Boston college, Villanova, and Fordham. I know UNC is the best out of the four, but I currently live in NY and am not sure how finding a job back in NYC or the northeast would be. The only reason I keep Fordham on the list is because of its proximity to NYC and its free tuition. Boston College and Villanova are currently the best business schools I have that are located in the northeast; however, I know they do not hold the same prestige as UNC. Despite the difficulty of even trying to compete with students from top tier undergraduate business schools, would attending UNC further the challenge of landing a job as an IB or FA in NYC due to its southern location?

 

I'm just saying that BC actually seems to really have an airtight loyal network rivaling MIT and Harvard. You may also transfer if you kill it at any of the schools. sorry that I don't have enough to evaluate UNC because it takes in a ton of instate students..
