Bocconi or Rotman Commerce (UNDERGRAD)

For context, I am an international student and after getting a Bachelors I would like to get a Masters and a job in the US. On that note, what school would be better for achieving these objectives? Bocconi is ranked very highly, but I am concerned about its recognition in the US, on the other hand everyone on this forum seems to believe that Rotman Commerce is a bad program and that the Rotman rankings are complete BS. The language barrier for bocconi will not be a problem, since I speak Italian and am half Italian. Which of these schools will be better in terms of getting a job and a Masters in the US?

Rotman rankings are indeed BS, and it isn't even remotely an elite program. 

 

In both cases you will go for a MBA in US, so there is little difference if it's Canada or Italy. My advice would be Bocconi because they are more represented in UK and beside that Milan is also an interesting city to be a student and have some good memories.

 

This makes no difference to OP who is looking to go to the US? 

Going to Rotman is going to give you no advantage for US opps OP. Bocconi is probably the better school and you're going to need that US masters/mba likely anyways.
