For international students, what matters is if your college or university can help you find internships and eventually a job after graduation where you can use your OPT. Being in a city is not going to help with that. The college/university network will.
So, contact the international students office and the career center at each campus, and ask where their international graduates have found work for their OPT. This is really important if you want to have work experience in the US before you return home. Every year lots of international graduates can’t find an employer who will hire them for their OPT and they have to leave the US shortly after they graduate.
