INSEAD vs US

I am sure this has been posted before, but since I was not able to dig them out and considering that this game changes relatively quickly... I ask again.

Which is better - INSEAD or any top 25 US College for an MBA?

My two cents...

Why is the US college better?
- A two year course is definitely required learn the contents that an MBA has to offer effectively. It also gives more opportunity to do a valuable internship over a longer duration.
- More time and opportunities to form and develop professional contacts
- Valued world over with the US included

Why is INSEAD better?
- Very international - 91% of the intake is from foreign student bodies.
- Better if you are looking to complete quickly.
- High marketability in the south-east Asian region and Europe, (but lower marketability in the US at the same time)
- Exposure in two parts of the world in the same degree program.

Your valued thoughts will definitely help my attempt...
Thanking you for your time ~ Eloquent Gent

Well, I can say first hand that INSEAD is intense but a lot of fun. Check out the video we made in our Advertising and Social Media class:
