My good friend who i knew in high school transferred from McCombs over to Bocconi.

I thought that was an interesting decision, so i went and googled it.

Apparently Bocconi = top business school in italy and top 5 in europe.

Every Italian I have in London who works in IB went to Bocconi, and some non-italian too. I haven't heard about the other ones, so I assume not very good. What languages do you speak? I might be able to help with other countries.

well the current prime minister of Italy, Mr. Monti, comes from that school, so I'd say it's pretty legit.

the 3 dutch universities are big on commodities trading.

PM me for the Dutch ones.

To the others: Bocconi is def one of the top 5 programmes in Europe, but it holds for the Master's more than for the Bachelor's. Pretty funny though, that HEC is highly appreciated at the Master level, but the quality is really poor compared to their French Bachelor's.

At my old firm, the MD in my division was a Bocconi alum. Dumbest MD I met in my life. I'm not generalizing, but considering how well regarded the school is, I was disappointed to meet such an idiot (and he was stuck up for no reason). I'm sure he wasn't the exception. Go with Rotterdam. They have a solid and better business program.

So, Bocconi and Rotterdam should be my top choices? also, hows the international community at bocconi(couldn't find any figures)?

Thanks

bocconi, without a question

Also, what kind of companies will take bachelor students from these schools?

Thanks

I have been reading about the BIEMF course and it looks like it is easy to get high marks(probably a good thing) and some people say the quality of teaching is sub par? is it also a target school for i-banking in London?

Also, how hard is it to get in?

Thanks

anyone?

I did my Erasmus at Bocconi, every year there are about 600 people from all over the world. Also all big companies go there for recruiting. That said I don't think their academics are that good.

anyone else?

thanks

anyone else?
