Hi guys!
I have been fortunate enough of being admitted into two top schools: Wharton and London Business School. Such a comfortable position comes with the pain of having to decide between these two finance powerhouses.
I would love to have your opinion concerning which school to choose. My personal circumstances are the following:
1.- European Lawyer.
2.- Married (no American work permit neither for me nor for my wife).
3.- Money concerns.
4.- Desire a future in finance.
5.- Eventually would like to settle in Europe after a few years.
THOUGHTS about each school.
LBS:
1.- I Love London but I think I will hate to have to pay crazy prices for everything while being a student.
2.- Visited the School and felt a bit tiny (I studied in small private college and LBS felt pretty much the same).
3.- Close to my family.
4.- Open many doors in London.
WHARTON:
1.- Never been to Philly (visiting in a week)
2.- I secretly (not anymore, as I am doing it public) dream the big American university experience.
3.- Prestige.
4.- Open many doors around the world.
I would like to hear your opinion, which I greatly appreciate in advance.

How is this a question? The only advantage of LBS is that it seems to be closer to family. Other than that, you want to go to a US school, you want to work in finance and you want global options. This is an easy pick: go Wharton.
