City vs School name for study abroad?

I have the opportunity to do a semester abroad next year (sep - jan), and am lucky to go to a school with a wide network of partners.

Since I want to work in finance later (pref. after bachelors), I am considering going to London in my exchange semester. I don't have a certain location for work locked in (London, Paris, etc.), and am pretty flexible. 

My school has a partnership with Bocconi, HEC and King's College, which are the three main places in my mind currently. We also have a partnership with Warwick, which I've heard is good (?), but I looked and the location and it's not really for me. I can apply for Wharton, but the distance is a huge negative factor for me (I live in a Nordic country).

My question is which of these I should lean towards, if I am open to many different cities for work later? Is getting a position after bachelor's even an option in anything that's not London?


Thank you!

 

Study abroad wherever you want. It really doesn't matter, as you're only getting the degree from your home university anyway. I went to Germany for an exchange semester during school.
