EHL HOSPITALITY BUSINESS SCHOOL

 “EHL
prepares you for real
life like no other educational insti-
tution. It has made me ready for success,
but also prepared to get rejected 100 times and
still stand up to walk again. EHL nurtures us to
dream big, telling us that we are the future leaders of
the industry, and it has a huge psychological impact.
I’ve had such incredibly unique experiences, not just through
the preparatory year (AP) and internships, but by networking
and socializing. “Work hard, play hard” was our motto and it’s
very true, EHL taught me the crucial balance of studying and
building meaningful human interactions. We focus a lot on be-
nevolence, authenticity, family, and respect because being able
to embody these qualities is a skill set for life. EHL is a place
to truly grow as a person, not just study and leave. I know
I wouldn’t have gotten this experience if I had studied
anywhere else.”
