Got into UCSD for International studies - economics. I applied without much thought as to my major, though I wanted to focus somewhere between finance, business, and economics. Career wise, I hope to go towards IB, private equity, or any valuation/finance specific positions. I would love to hear people's thoughts on whether international studies - economics could get me into positions like the ones I had previously mentioned, and whether or not it's a major that is sought after? I understand the UC's don't have a business or finance focus like other universities because of their research focus, but I'd still like to see what people are saying about this major. Also, if you had this major and are currently working somewhere, I'd really appreciate hearing your insight into that major and what you did/wanted to go do in terms of work.

TL;DR: What can I do with a international studies - economics major in UCSD, can i use it in ib/hedge fund/private equity focused careers, and is it a sought after major by employers/people?

As the title suggests im legit lost as to where to go and wanted to get people's perspectives and thoughts on the following schools.

got into UCSB, UCSD, Tulane, Umiami, and Bentley, and am currently waiting for others as a transfer student coming into the junior year.

For the UC's I got in as a econ major, with UCSD specifically being International studies - econ.

For Tulane I got in for Finance, and the same thing applies for Umiami and Bentley.

Now for Bentley, I got 112k scholarship and for Umiami I got 15k academic year scholarship. I wanted to get people's opinions on these schools. Bentley seems like the smartest move since I'll be able to get my Bachelors and Masters in two years, along with it being covered by scholarship. Though, everywhere I've looked online about Bentley, there's legit nothing. Like why has no one said anything about the school, makes me nervous for no reason but like idk. also, food apparently is kinda meh and like, I literally have no other info to go off of for it. One of the features of Bentley University that stood out to me was their trading floor, which I thought was about as hands on as I'll get in a finance school from any of the schools I currently have.

For UCSD, I loved the campus, but like idk, I'm at Warren, so that kind of sucks, and everywhere I've looked online, there's no modern reviews on Warren college at UCSD. I've also heard that the school is socially dead, but at the same time I think socially, it'll probably just be what you make of it.

The one thing about Tulane is it's very big religiously, and I'm just not that religious personally! Also, when comparing it to other universities that it gets compared to like Duke, Rice, Vanderbilt, etc. I just don't think it holds up. Jobs and stuff will probably not think highly of it compared to these others

I'd really enjoy hearing everyone's thoughts on these schools, maybe your personal reviews or experiences, and any other info you could provide!
