Study Abroad Options

<p>I'm thinking about studying in Europe and was wondering what this forum's opinions were on the schools I have in mind. I'd like to know if you have even heard of them, which ones you think are the best and why, and if you know anyone who went/goes to any of them (and, if you have an idea, what they would say about these):</p>

<p>HEC Paris in France
St. Gallen in Switzerland
Rotterdam School of Management (Erasmus University) in the Netherlands
Copenhagen Business School in Denmark</p>

<p>I chose these four because they're all part of CEMS (supposedly the best business school in each country), and are in nice places where the first language that comes to mind is not English. I asked my dad's co-worker who graduated from HEC Paris, an economics professor from France, and my girlfriend's dad who graduated from a university in Norway what they thought. The HEC grad said HEC and St. Gallen were a couple of the best in Europe, the professor said they were all good but he didn't know which ones were better, and the girlfriend's dad said these were all some of the most famous for business in Europe, but again didn't know which were better.</p>

<p>I'm somewhat indifferent to the exact location out of these four and think it would be more interesting to go somewhere that I would be more likely to work with a grad from in the future, or at least have it seem more interesting when I say I've been there. If you have any insight on this, or even about the countries in general, I'd love to hear it.</p>

<p>The choice here is between HEC Paris and St. Gallen. These are head and shoulders above the other two. Among the best business schools in continental Europe.</p>
