ESSEC or Bocconi for MSc in Finance

Hi guys,

I am an international student who just received offers from Bocconi MSc in Finance and ESSEC MSc in Finance. For Bocconi, I received a 50% tuition waiver. Since the program in Bocconi is two years while the program at ESSEC is 1 year, the cost is basically the same. Can you give me some advice about which school should I go to? Which school is better (especially in terms of reputation and academics)?

Thank you a lot!
