Genuinely some of the best years of my life by far

Honestly, the world-class academic program speaks for itself. What surprised me most about EHL was the student life. I’ve met some of the most interesting people and had experiences I never imagined a university would enable, such as night hikes to see the stars, petting cows in a field, directing a musical, or simply enjoying a glass of Ruinart with friends between classes. There’s a sense of shared adventure here that turns memories into actual “lore.” The opportunities are what set EHL apart. When the Four Seasons C-suite visited, the talk alone was inspiring, but I ended up sitting with them at lunch afterwards, and they welcomed me into the conversation. Moments like that gave me perspectives I wouldn’t have gained if I’d stayed in my comfort zone or gone elsewhere. Those conversations shaped how I approach interviews, how I think about my career, and, honestly, how I present myself as a future professional. I feel more confident because of them. I also work across two departments at the school, and the trust and responsibility I’ve been given this early is something I don’t take lightly. It’s rare to be treated like you have something real to contribute before you’ve even graduated. EHL has been more than an education, it’s been a place that continuously hands me opportunities to grow, and the space to rise to them. I’m grateful.

Incredible immersion into Portugal

With SHG I was able to get internships in top hotels, make connections with very prolific people and learn a new language fluently within 2 years. I will never be able to thank the administration enough for the experience and the ability to graduate with experience in the top hotels of the country.
