Bocconi vs IE vs ESADE Undergrad?

I'm currently a senior in high school hoping to go into consulting and am looking for advice on which undergrad programs I should look at. I'm spending next year working in Guatemala which is why I haven't completed applications yet. I'm looking for the best international bachelor degree that I can afford (aka not London) and these three look like the best options. I have conversational French and after next year should be basically fluent in Spanish, which is why IE and ESADE look so appealing to me, but it also seems that Bocconi is overall a better school with better career prospects. Is it worth the reduction in quality of living to go to Milan where I don't speak Italian (though I do have 4 years of IB Latin, if that counts for anything) to get what Bocconi offers?
