I’m an international student who has received full scholarships both at Temple University and at University of Bocconi (Italy) for economics. In Temple I have also been admitted to the honors program.
Which one should I go for?
I have heard that undergraduate education in the US is better than Europe.
It’ll be very different from each other, for sure!
Bocconi enjoys widespread prestige throughout Europe. Your classmates will all be accomplished. You’ll have great networking opportunities and you’ll likely be able to spend a semester abroad (including in the US). You’ll live in a thriving city and have access to many different European cities on breaks.
You will however have very large classes where most of the time you take notes and do nothing else. Students won’t be very diverse, either ethnically or economically. It’ll be a bit sink or swim and the professors won’t really care if they’re good at teaching (or may not understand the idea 
since this is university.) Most of your classmates will be commuting or living in apartments, there’ll be very little residential life and little sense of “community”.
At Temple, you’ll have small, interactive Honors seminars with lots of discussion, give-and-take, but also larger “regular” classes. You’ll get a large choice of classes and you won’t study just one subject. You’ll have lots of opportunities for research, internships, etc., and you’ll get great support for it. If you’re in trouble, there’ll be services to help you for free. If you’re a person of color or gay, you’ll enjoy great acceptance (and celebration) - the college is very diverse and proud of it. Your Honors classmates will be accomplished and driven, but your “regular” classmates will be so-so. There’ll be a well-maintained campus and since all Honors students live together, there’ll be a real sense of community - and a real sense of pride at the many accomplishments, including in basketball. You’ll be a short metroride to center city or historical philadelphia, a thriving American city - but your campus will be in one of the poorest, grittiest parts of Philadelphia (the campus itself is safe, but you can’t wander outside the campus alone late at night.) And of course you’ll be in the US, so you’ll become bilingual and discover a new culture.
Thanks for your reply…its very helpful
