Bocconi undergrad vs Exeter undergrad

Hey so I’ve only literally got like a week to decide on whether I go to the UK or Milan for university, ideally I want to be going into IB or PE or HF and I was determined on going to bocconi because loads of people had said that it’s a good target school for London. After further research it seems that it is only the graduate programs that are respected and the undergrad is not selective and bad quite honestly admitting loads of people from different countries. Can someone help me out as to what I should go for, Exeter is a semi target but could still be better for me undergrad than bocconi since most people need a masters to go for jobs

i would still go to bocconi. exeter only gets maybe 5-10 in high finance per year, with some being nepo hired to small funds. its a tough battle.

bocconis name as a b-skl far outstrips exeter so even if you dont break in at ug theres plenty of opportunities to do a target masters and break in that way

 

exeter is not bad but on the lower end of targets, would probably go bocconi even without italian as it’s a good brand and more interesting lifestyle

 

Hear most placing into London from Bocconi are italians (and thus italian speakers), so especially when adapting to the new environment, it might be tough for you. Would choose Exeter or gap yr
