"Bocconi is the best university in economics in Italy and is recognized as one of the best business schools in Europe and in the world." Financial Times --- this statement is unsourced...

Restructured most of the article according to the WikiProject Universities standards. Need more photos! And where is the logo? 151.37.39.155 20:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC) (Stormharmony)

Ok, I made some photos and uploaded them myself. Hope they're alright Stormharmony 15:45, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I think this article is really good. "Bocconi is the best university in economics in Italy and is recognized as one of the best business schools in Europe and in the world." I can confirm this is true. --Nebu87 18:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Magazzini Bocconi photo

I added a photo I took of La Rinascente under the History section, but I would like to know whether everyone else agrees with it. I personally deem that it played an important role in the foundation of the university, although others might argue that it is no longer relevant to the university itself. What do you think?

[edit] University Ranking

Other links showing that Bocconi has been ranked No.1 in Fortune's "Value for Money" MBA's several years http://www.oie.gatech.edu/sa/programs/show.html?id=bocc http://economiaemanagement.corriere.it/dynuni/dyn/Universita/Allegati/IMP%20Brochure%207-04.pdf Apparently the old links on the SDA Bocconi websites are dead.

This is the new link on SDA Bocconi News, with the Wall Street Journal rankings http://mba.sdabocconi.it/home/main.php?id=12001&ym=2007-09 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.47.137.178 (talk) 13:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Double Degrees vs Exchange programs

On the following link you can find the complete list of the Double Degree programs at Bocconi. Not to be confused with the Exchange programs, which are of course at a wider range of universities but don't constitute a major additional certificate as in a double degree. http://www.unibocconi.it/index.php?proc_id=65&nav_level1=7&nav_level2=2473&nav_level3=2488&documento=0&procedura=0&sub_action=0&sub_param=&sub_function_title= —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stormharmony (talk • contribs) 21:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of alumni rather than category

I think the list on the page itself gives a better overview of the alumni than the category, since the category doesn't contain all the names of people who don't have a wikipedia article yet are famous especially in Italy. If there is any way to include the names of those people without a wikipedia page in the category as well...? Additionally, many of the names do exist on the Italian Wikipedia article of this page! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.47.154.226 (talk) 18:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
