ESCP vs Columbia University

Hi everyone, recently I am trying to choose between ESCP's MIM program and Columbia University's MSOR program. 

I really like the MIM because it is a three-year program, gives students more international exposure (multiple campuses in 6 countries), plus ESCP is a business school. However, internationally speaking, companies seem to recognize the Ivy-league brand better. Also, Columbia has a smaller class size (MSOR: 200 vs. MIM: 800).

Does major matter much in the recruitment process in Europe or the US? Is school location or class size a deal-breaker when choosing programs?
