Europe Vs. USA where should I go for MBA?

Question

Hi All,

I am preparing for GMAT and have over 4 years of experience with me, I do speak fluent German and worked in Germany for over 2 years. I am looking for good business school and also not very costly. I would like to know where should I target US or Europe (in Europe I am targeting Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg, Belgium, France etc.

I would appreciate if fellow members could guide me with their experiences, it would help me to restrict my search towards good universities or colleges.

Hope to hear positive

Kind regards

I think that the answer to this question rests on your career goals and where you want to live post-graudation.

If you want to live in Germany and/or Europe, a good German school would probably make things a lot easier for you than going to a school in the USA. If you want to live in the USA, then a USA school will probably do you much better.

If you don't care either way, I suggest that you try and find some specific schools of interest and post them up here for analysis.

Thanks a lot for wonderful replies. I would like to add that learning a language would always be helpful in 21st century. I can say that this century is entirely based on knowledge and innovation.

If we are different from others, things would be great for us in challenging world.

Knowledge of German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, French and undoubtedly english would make a knowledge pool among experts globally.

I would like to know if I get a chance to study on both places i.e Europe and America where should I opt and why?

Where do you want to work post college, US schools generally work in the US and Euro Schools Generally EU. You can definitely cross, however if you have options of both, I don't see why you would want to go the hard route.

I've heard a lot of foreign recruiters actually weigh a school "brand name" quite heavily.

If you're applying to both US and international schools, I would pick the most recognizable school because job opportunities might be better even if the school you get accepted into is in the US but you are looking to find a job in Europe.

With the current exchange rates, British schools are an absolute bargain. Many Euro business schools are often 1 year programs which help keep costs down. Look into LBS, INSEAD, Oxford, Cambridge, IMD etc. for strong european programs. This thread gives a good overview of the rankings of these non-american schools :
