Last minute choice of program: MSc Management (not international) at Bocconi (full tuition) or CEMS at LSM (almost free)

Hi there!

I decided a few months ago to start a MSc in Management at Bocconi. I obviously know Bocconi is an amazing school, but I have to pay full tuition fees to complete the MSc Management program and I have to borrow money for that (almost in its entirety). I can also still start the CEMS MIM + Business Engineering master at the LSM in Belgium, which is almost free of tuition. On top of that, I have free accommodation in Belgium.

Do you honestly think going to Bocconi is worth the money?

Thank you for your answers!

 

I did my MSc at Bocconi, to be honest the Management and IM program are fairly similar with the only relevant difference being the number of exchange / DD slots available pro capita in year 2. Also, the quality of Bocconi's former bachelor students will be higher in IM, on average, but you won't be impacted too much by this as a non-Italian student.

Hard to tell if it's worth the price tag without info on your career aims, what would you like to do afterwards?
