Vanderbilt vs. Northeastern for Investment Banking

I am a rising junior looking to transfer to either Vanderbilt or Northeastern for Investment Banking. I'll be transferring into the college of sciences for both schools but I will try to switch to econ if possible. What is the best choice for landing BBs, preferably in NYC. Looking for as much insight as possible, even if it has to do with college life, campus, party scene, etc.

Go to Vanderbilt and don't look back.

Vanderbilt is a very good school (and is much better than Northeastern). It's probably a semi-target for investment banking (in NYC) while Northeastern is a non-target.

Don't know much else other than the fact that Vanderbilt has a pretty big Greek scene (~50%). Nashville and Boston are both great cities although I'm sure Nashville is much nicer in the winter.
