Carleton -vs- Wellesley

<p>Hey I am choosing between these two schools. since i am an int'l student, i cant visit either schools but from what i know, they are both great. Both schools are giving me almost equal amount of financial aid as well, so my choice should not include this factor. i am actually leaning towards Carleton because of the huge arboretum and the laid-back attitude in mid-west.
just a few things that i wanna know:
Carleton is much more unknown in the east(from what i read on this forum), but how would this affect my interviews for job oppotunities? is this kind of unknown-ness just for men on streets or also for imployers of big companies? E.g. wall street companies?</p>

<p>i am also admitted by Penn, Columbia, cornell and chicago. but they dont give me any aid, and if i am going to attend any of these my family will have huge amount of financial burden. how would future job oppotunities be affected if i attend Carleton or Wellesley instead of these schools?</p>

<p>Any comment is appreciated! thanks!</p>

<p>Same dilemma. International student choosing between top LACs(except AWS) and a top National Uni(those in the Ivies). Size of school, environment etcs aside, the major concern for me is also money-vs- future job oppotunities. hope someone could help.</p>

<p>Go for Columbia! Pay for it.</p>
