LBS vs Kellogg

I got accepted to both Kellogg and LBS and am deciding on which to go.

Some context:

-Recruiting: I currently work in consulting and am being sponsored which means I won’t be doing full time recruiting. I’ll be returning to my current job because debt and also don’t mind it.

-Goals for B-School: Because I’m not looking for a full time job, I’m mostly just using it to experience new things. I want to live abroad (which I think Kellogg has a good study abroad program) and I want to explore other long-term career options to see what I’d enjoy doing post 2-5 years in consulting via internships and such.

-Long-term Goals: I would want to do corporate strategy at a tech company / startup or do strategy work at a VC.

-Other Considerations: Chicago’s winter scares me as a Californian. I’m also wanting a good community of people which I think both might have. Kellogg is more lax about class attendance. A little part of me also cares about name brand, which I’m not sure how they rank against each other.
