SSE for sure.
簡直不用多想.

1. CEMS, SSE的也可以申請, 雖則不一定能申得上.
重點是, 搞finance的, CEMS這類general management master, 不是最重點.

2. SSE is a more famous and well-regarded econ and business school than ESADE (though ESADE is also decent, but SSE is even target for London BB)

3. for finance, it is much better to stay in the northern part of Europe than the southern part.......much much better.

indeed i think point 3 is the most important.

So how about SSE MSF (half-tuition waiver) v.s. Bocconi MSF (full-tuition waiver)?

similar level school. go for the one you like more, or the cheaper one.

P.S. to be precise.......it is half tuition + chances to work in Sweden VS no tuition.

其实Bocconi现在在欧洲整体声誉都不错，至少我遇到很多Bocconi的意大利人在其他欧洲国家工作，所以意大利毕业也可以照样申请北欧的工作机会，地域局限性也就这样了

I guess this logic holds perfectly well for EU students, but not that much for international one.

Relocation is very common in Europe, and thus location don't matter as much as some other place since good transportation network.

I will say the implication are mainly:
1. part time job, which is not really likely especially in the first year.
2. language, normally a student in Italy won't speak Swedish, and vice versa, and thus are restricted to English speaking role only. Though normally student will not be able to handling a totally new language at working level.
3. visa regulation in different country, this play a quite important role if one really want to stay longer.
4. Interviews. It is not a problem for the first interview on phone, but it will be more difficult to find companies willing to pay the bill for on-site interview, not to mention the traveling time.

normally really good school (Bocconi and SSE surly counts) not only has their reputation within their own country, but also elsewhere in Europe.

我觉得你说的很多都不是问题
1.parttime不是每个国家都可以做的，我认识的很多SSE毕业的瑞典人本身自己也没时间做parttime，上课太忙压力太大
2.无论在瑞典还是意大利读书，申请的都是英文的工作，去瑞典两年也不见得会说英语，我认识的意大利人也只会不会德语北欧语言
3.瑞典工作签证很简单，还没听说过大公司给拒签的。现在不少欧洲国家签证都不是太变态，不是每个国家都像瑞士英国那样
4.这年头，米兰飞stockholm便宜的很.....

说白了，我的意思很简单，欧洲读书除非真的本来就有语言基础，否则基本都申请的是大公司的英文职位，只要学校是欧洲top tier，申请起来没什么太大区别。当然，有些国家有些parttime工作机会，但瑞典/意大利/西班牙，据我所知都很少有人做parttime，申请summer intern的话location也没什么关系

1. It is about keeping an option available. Nomally it is allowed to work part time as a student, and the rest is about time managment, though this is definitly far from easy.
2. I mentioned this point also before already if you read into details. But in additional to working, knowing a bit about local language make daily life way easier also.
3. What I mean is not about the approval of working visa, but also about the number of year required for PR, and number of months that one can stay after graduation. (not clear about Italy and Sweden but this do differ across different European country)
4. It is not only about $$ but also time. Imagine that one is in Milan and seeking job in Stockholm (or anywhere). You have two choice: A. fly there every interview. B. rent a house/room and live there.
A is expensive and time consuming if one has ten interviews before getting a job (which is absolutly common), while B may subject to visa regulation and registration concern (can one stay more than 90 days in another EU country with a student visa only?)

As long as the school is about similar level (i.e. the same tier), why not just study in the same country as one plan to work in order to prevent these additional troublesome concern?
I will say all these concern are troublesome but solvable. One will have a solution to it, but at some additional cost (time and/or $$).
Life will be much easier to keep them away by the way.

of course it worth to consider somewhere else if school A dominate school B (i.e. different tier) since the reputation difference worth the effort. But I dont think this holds for SSE vs Bocconi.
