London exchange schools

Question

Hi,

I have the possibility to go on exchange next year and really want to go to London. However, my school only has deals with Regent´s and Westminster. They also have deals with schools like SSE, HEC, Nova, St. Gallen, and Bocconi to name a few. I guess my question is how decent are the two London schools? I know that they aren´t LSE, LBS and Imperial quality. As it´s only 4 months exchange it might not matter at much as my MSc is from a good school.

I did lots of study abroad and used to screen CVs when I was still at my BB -

In my experience, study abroad utility for job hunting is maximised when you tick 1+ of these:

Leading city / location, e.g. you end up in an alpha city such as London or other global areas of influence (e.g. Paris in Europe, the east coast or California in the US, Asian capitals)
    Leading school in your field
    An "exotic" experience, e.g.

Thought I'd give my 2 cents since I graduated from a decent European BS, completed an exchange at Bocconi and worked both in the UK and continental Europe.

I have two questions for you:

what is your university of origin and is that a target?

Do you want to work/start your career in Europe (probably London if you're American and only speak English)?

In Europe, you have to understand that language requirements are paramount to work in regional offices especially in IB.
