Student review [#95793] for BSc in International Hospitality Management
at EHL Hospitality Business School - EHL

Born and raised in Mexico, I have always been drawn to studying hospitality; however, I had always thought I would pursue this field back home. Before joining, I had the chance to attend the EHL Junior Academy, which confirmed my passion for the industry, but changed what I thought I wanted. The way I felt on campus, surrounded by the people and teachers, made me feel like I belonged, like home. From that experience, I knew EHL was where I wanted to build my future.

The AP program was an exciting start. Everything was new, and meeting people from around the world was surprisingly easy. I made friends who quickly became like family. My favorite workshops were the Fine Dining Service and Pastry, especially because we had the opportunity to participate in the Michelin Star event, which was an unforgettable experience.

For my first internship, I traveled to Galicia and worked as a Guest Experience Assistant, which provided me with valuable insights into guest relations and service quality. During BOSC 1, 2, and 3, my favorite subject was Foundations of Hospitality Marketing, and I became involved in the Basketball Committee, the Knowledge and Improvement Committee, and the Coaching Department. I’m also proud to serve as a Student Ambassador since then. All these opportunities are truly unique to EHL and have helped me develop my professional skills, preparing me for my future while also allowing me to enjoy my student life.

For my second internship, I rotated between the Events and Finance departments, as it was an administrative role at a resort in Kenya. I had the opportunity to learn more about the hotel industry and decide what I want for my future, while also traveling. Now, in BOSC 5, my favorite subject is Corporate Strategy, where we are learning about real-life scenarios and dealing with external stakeholders. Moreover, I am currently the NEP Student Lead, a role that has been both challenging and rewarding in helping students adapt to different learning needs. I also continue with my previous roles, which is great to give continuity to what I was focusing on before.

EHL has been much more than an education; it’s been a journey of personal growth, lifelong friendships, and endless opportunities. My advice to future students is to get involved, stay curious, and make the most of every moment and opportunity.
