Bocconi vs esade - Undergraduate degree

Hey guys! I got offers from both the Bocconi Bachelor of international economics and management and the ESADE Bachelor of business administration. Which one would be the best for me? I want to either work after the bachelor (consulting preferably) or join a prestigious graduate school (US or Europe). Thank you all in advance!

I neither speak Spanish nor Italian. germancraft1997, getting in Bocconi is actually harder than getting in ESADE, I know someone who got in ESADE last year with only 1500 on the SAT and I know someone who got rejected from Bocconi with 1850 on the SAT. This year all the people I know who got in the two programs chose Bocconi. I hear everywhere that Bocconi is way better. I would like to work (Management consulting, but still not 100% decided) In Dubai ,london or the US. not really interested by working in Italy or Spain. Thanks a lot guys for your fast answers!

 

I think that Bocconi may really be the stronger program and the ESADE program is 4 years vs Bocconi's "more standard" 3 years. Consulting in the Middle East or London shouldn't be an issue from Bocconi, I know a few BSc guys who went to Delta Partners in Dubai for example or joined MBB in London. However, going to work for consultancies in the U.S. will be difficult from both.
