<p>I think it depends on what kind of school it is. If it is a national known school, then it really doesn’t matter where it is. As an example, Cornell is located in the middle of no where in NY, but it is heavily recruited by many finance firms. A school like U. of Connecticut, not a top tier school, but I have heard graduates do get jobs at UBS in Stamford or other smaller financial firms in CT. </p>
<p>The best thing for you to do would be to check out each school’s career website to see what firms recruit there. You may want to call up each school’s career center to find out which firms they work with, what kind of assitance they give to students, and their placement rate.</p>
