A superstition holds that students who pass between the lion statues at the Sarfatti Building entrance will not graduate: “Chi passa tra i Leoni non si laurea alla Bocconi.”<ref>{{Cite news |date=8 September 2015 |title=La superstizione: il vero ostacolo per gli studenti milanesi! |url=https://www.tutored.me/it/la-superstizione-vero-ostacolo-gli-studenti-milanesi/3/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190327102730/https://www.tutored.me/it/la-superstizione-vero-ostacolo-gli-studenti-milanesi/3/ |archive-date=27 March 2019 |access-date=3 December 2018 |work=Tutored Italiano |language=it-IT}}</ref>

From above, the main campus buildings form “30L” (''30 cum laude''), the highest possible exam grade: the Roentgen Building forms the “3,” the Velodromo the “0,” and the main building two “L”s.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Italiano |first=Touring Club |title=Università commerciale "Luigi Bocconi", Milano, localita, Edificio Monumentale |url=https://www.touringclub.it/destinazione/141189/universita-commerciale-luigi-bocconi |access-date=3 December 2018 |website=Touring Club Italiano}}</ref>
