SSE or Bocconi - which one would you choose for the bachelor?

Hello, 

I'm a high school student who got into both unis and is interested in a career in venture capital. Which university would prepare me better for that and which one has the better student life?

Both schools are quite good but I would go to SSE. Italy is too dispersed and unorganized. Getting a train, part-time jobs or handling daily things is way more complex. Easier and less stressful life in Sweden but also colder (aha) ;)

 

For placement Bocconi is significantly better than SSE. Its presence in London is on pretty much on par with UCL, LSE, Oxbridge for all the top firms. SSE still a great school but unless you are Swedish wouldn't recommend it. From an academics standpoint both are great, Bocconi's finance and econ program is very strong and will prepare you incredibly well.
