I would argue Bocconi. St. Gallen is great for the DACH region but Bocconi is a better name overall in Europe. This is assuming you do the MFin in both.
no, Im doing a Bachelors.no, Im doing a Bachelors.
Maybe St. Gallen is better for DACH region jobs straight out of university but Bocconi is probably better for getting into future MFins or MiMs around Europe.
I don't know much about St Gallen but I know Bocconi grads who have broken into Blackstone after undergrad + Msc Finance
Do you speak German? If not, go Bocconi - if you do it's closer (but I'd still do Bocconi)
Better City, CoL probably same (not sure though) and St Gallen is known to be a sausage-party (which even if you're a girl might not be what you're searching)
So - go Bocconi.
Im German, the thing is I have an offer from St Gallen to start in autumn and would need to apply in the spring for Bocconi.
You're probably 17/18, right? If you're interested in that kind of stuff go do a gap year in Australia before going to Bocconi then. As a german especially you would be far more "special" coming from Bocconi than from StG where 90% are German males (exaggerated obviously). But that's just for lifestyle/uniqueness reasons - if you go to StG you get a great degree as well that's for sure.
So you’re saying that my future career chances are about the same with both universities?
Go for St Gallen as you are German. You might not have an offer from Bocconi and waste a year.

Wel, I thought of going to St Gallen and still applying to Bocconi and if I would be accepted I could still go for Bocconi or stay in St Gallen if I like it there.
Thank you very much, you were very helpful. So I will go to StG for my Bachelor, but I even think I will do my Masters somewhere else. Thank you both very much again.
