Apologies for bursting your bubble, but the most important criterion is neither of the mentioned. The imperative aspect is, hold your breath, LOCATION, yes that\u2019s right, an aspiring MBA grad has his eyes set on the location first and then comes ranking, placements and academic facilities. According to a recent study, almost 32% of students select the locale first and then move on to other important factors. Now, you may be wondering what\u2019s in a location?

Another example is of Cass business School in the United Kingdom that hosts corporate events and interest groups for students to network with business honchos.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"one_column\">\n<li>University Links<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another vital aspect to consider is the relevance of the University linked to an MBA of a business school. These links are proven to be beneficial and the collaboration can positively affect the student. For example, SOIL offers a dual global degree in collaboration with MIP Politecnico di Milano in Italy.
