DP. Of course it is tougher to network. That doesn’t mean you can’t find a good job. The PP said the former, not the latter. |

| You could always consider an exchange program at Bocconi, while attending a US university. My DC attends Tulane and their business school has a semester abroad at Bocconi. I am sure a lot of other schools do as well. |

| Madeira has sent girls there, but they always send girls to international universities every year. I spent a semester in Italy in college. What’s not to love about living and studying there? I say go for it. |

This is nuts. Kids that go to Pitt/Ole Miss are not the type that would do well at Bocconi. Bocconi is a small, highly theoretical school filled with kids who went to scientifico high school in Italy. These high schools are five years and hard to get into. The kids who go are brilliant. |

| It's one of Italy's best universities. if your kid wants to come back to North America it won't have the same recognition, but if she has an interest in Italy/languages/working in the EU, I'm sure it's a good education. |

BS. It DOES have the name recognition in the US for the employers that matter. Jimmy’s mechanics service is not it…. |

Very good school and will generally do very well for placement into finance roles in the EU. That said, I would not consider it a target stateside. Of course it is possible and there are always exceptions, but if your kid’s goal is IB/S&T/AM/whatever in the US then there is a degree of difficulty involved and a strong domestic business program is probably more reliable.
Michigan, Haas, USC, UCLA, UVA, Emory, IU Kelley, BC are a few that come to mind that are (slightly) less selective than the usual Ivy+ finance targets but have strong placement. |

I learned something today, as I am in finance (I was an econ major at a T10 uni, and spent early years at GS) and have never heard of it. Not saying it is not well regarded, but in my 30 years in the field in NY and DC, I doubt I’ve met a grad.
But starting from the assumptions that it is an excellent econ program and that your son intends to base his career in the US, I mention 3 things for consideration. - much US based company internship interviewing occurs on campus soph and junior years, your son will not be as positioned for those internships - there is value to peer connections made while in college if intending to work in a field like finance, and your son would lack much of that network - I’d look into if his class choices will be limited, since he could only take those taught in English. (tangentially, I would question the quality if professorship at a university that primarily teaches classes in a language not its home language) |

It’s well represented in NY finance. To say otherwise is a lie.
