University of Florida or Boston University? Finance major

I am majoring in finance and want to live in the New York, Boston or Philadelphia area, so basically somewhere in the metropolitan northeast. I am a florida resident so UF is a lot cheaper but I wonder is a UF education respected in the Northeast? Is it hard to get a job there with a southern degree? Would I be better off paying twice as much to go to BU? If I go to UF will I basically be trapped in the Deep South?
