Unless there's a major personal reason for going to Manchester, choose HEC Paris. The HEC Paris program is well regarded and the alumni network, especially in Europe, is extremely robust. HEC Paris is strong in industry as well.

I wouldn't worry too much about the French part. You can learn before and during the course, and if your French still isn't great by graduation, you can look at jobs in the Netherlands or some areas of Germany where they don't require a local language.

If you haven't done so already, I'd definitely recommend reaching out to alumni from both schools in sectors that you're interested in and ask them about their experience.

HEC Paris, easy decision.

There is really no comparison. Manchester doesn't have the resources, alumni base, academics, student quality compared to HEC.

You can either go to HEC and be considered 'smart' or go to Manchester and be considered the exact opposite and 'unable to get into a school like HEC.'

No brainier here, pick HEC and never look back.

No need to be an a-hole over other people's choices...

I'd go for HEC. Differences in program reputation and quality seem huge. Quite possibly the network you'll make out of HEC is worth way more than a couple '000s in tuition.

Rotman, Canada

Not sure why everyone is interested in Manchester all of a sudden. Rotman is clearly the better program. Maybe if Manchester was paying you to attend it would be a decent alternative to Rotman, not sure if I would attend if even free. The opportunity cost is way too large vs attending Rotman.
