Dear Sir/Mam

I would be really very thankful if you can advice which college i should go for ?

I have offers from:
1. University of Leeds, UK
2. University of Nottingham, UK
3. EADA Business school, Spain

I am expecting offers from:
4. SDA Bocconi, Italy
5. Imperial business school, UK

Please advice which is the best business school among these

Among the offers i have, I am planning to go ahead with Leeds.
Also, please comment on how are SDA Bocconi and Imperial business school ?

If possible, please do some comparison between Nottingham business school and Leeds university business school

I would be really very thankful for your help

Thanking you
Sincerely

Hi, Ankit--

I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with those programs but I do have some thoughts.

- SDA Bocconi is probably the program with the greatest intertnational prestige but that --as I have said over and over in this forum and others-- should not be the main driver of your decision.

- A much better driver, is thinking about "fit" which includes:

- What language do you want to study in (English? English and Spanish? English and Italian?)? The fact is that, even if the program is officially in English, some part of your daily life will be in the local language.

- Where do you want to live and where do you want to work?

- What are the sizes of the programs? Are they embedded in larger universities? Does that matter to you?

- What about the teaching style?

More research and reflection by you is required to choose a place that is a good fit both for your studies and for the career that your studies are presumably preparing you for.

Cheers and Good Luck--

Paxton
