Choosing between Bocconi and SSE for bachelor's

Hi everybody! 
I recently graduated high school in Sweden, have been admitted to BIEF at Bocconi and anticipate admission* (based on GPA) to the BSc in Business and Economics at SSE. Wondering if anyone has any advice on which I should go for, or any general words of wisdom, anything helps! 

Some context:
- I am aware that SSE is my strongest choice if I want to stay in the Nordics, but I’m more interested in opening doors internationally. 
- I live in Stockholm and would attend SSE for free. Bocconi would cost me full price and I have yet to manage to get into any of their residence halls. 

Big thanks in advance!

*EDIT: I've been admitted!

You've pointed out all of the pros/cons I have seen with this debate, sounds like personal choice at this point. If you have the means and want to, go to Bocconi.
