Commodity Trading: UNIGE or Cass?

Hi, guys! I am a final year student in Asia and I want to break into the energy/commodity space in the future. I have received the following offers and would like to know which one is the best in terms of future prospect (I am open to staying in Europe or going back to Asia after graduation).

Cass Business School - MSc in Energy, Trade and Finance

Pros: Better location for paper trading, financial firms
Cons: Much higher tuition fee, living costs comparable to Geneva

University of Geneva - MSc in Commodity Trading

Pros: Close to a lot of physical trading firms - If I can receive a part time traineeship then the experience might be superior to that from Cass(?)
Cons: Living costs are higher, Cass has a stronger brand name in terms of global recruitment, hard for non-Schengen person to land a graduate job there due to cantonal policies?

Background: Final year student at a target university in Asia. Previously interned at one BB (Equity Research) and upcoming internship at one of MBBs.

Thank you everyone for their input in advance!
