Exchange University List Ranking / Need your advice

Dear all,

I have to submit my list of preferred exchange partner universities to my home university soon.

I kindly ask you to help me rank the following list ( undergraduate level).

The main criterion is placement in strategy consulting (in DACH-region and London) and general reputation (for Master's applications, for instance).

Thank you very much for your help, which I appreciate!

Best regards
Max

If I were you, for an exchange I would not pick the reputation or ranking but where it is easy and where you can have fun. Out of these, ESADE would be my bet. Barcelona is fun and the weather is good. Good luck!

 

The university you do an exchange semester or year at doesn't really impact your placement. I'd consider other factors as more important priorities.
