minnesota would be a no-brainer if you are into marketing.
school location is very important. just try to think of how many big marketing companies are arround twin city area - plenty, and how many are around PSU or Vanderbilt - 0.
saying PSU or Vanderbilt is closer to NYC or east coast is useless. what matter is whether these NYC or east companies recruit at PSU or Vanderbilt.
so the best for you would be to go to each school's website, find out what are the recruiting firms at each school, any how many new hires each year.
