The journal's editorial board are selected by way of an annual write-on competition, and go on to select and provide feedback on submitted papers, as well as organizing the annual call for papers. *IS@B News: a campus magazine run by the International Student Association (IS@B). *Be OBjective Magazine: a bimonthly pdf magazine founded by students from the ACME course.

Superstitions

In the atrium of the oldest building of the university, there are three sets of doors. The central doors, which are larger than the others, have two lions on either side of them. There is a superstition within the university that students who pass in between the two lions via the central doors risk not being able to graduate. This derives from the adage "Chi passa tra i Leoni non si laurea alla Bocconi." If seen from the top, the three main buildings of Bocconi seem to spell "30L" (30 ''cum laude''), the maximum achievable grade in any exam. The building in Via Roentgen is the "3", the velodrome is the "0" and the main building is a cross of two "L"s.
