Yale vs LBS vs INSEAD

Lucky to have admission from these schools but having a hard time deciding which to attend.

Background is big4, IB and PE. Post mba goal is PE Africa, backup MBB in Africa, and back up back up BB in London

I'm mostly concerned about post mba career goal and the social environment of each school - I can hold my own academically but I'm looking to have a lot of fun at school

What do you guys think

This should really be a decision between LBS and Insead. Given your goals you may want to do an internship of some sort. I'd go LBS
