In August, our alumni Sherif, Yen and Ifeoma shared their commute experiences to the LBS from Luxembourg, Switzerland and Nigeria!
We listened to their stories and learned that whilst travel may be more accessible for some than others depending on several factors, it was not a steppingstone to choosing LBS and gaining the desired achievement. At the same time, the changing environment contributes to creativity and helps people stay more focused and organised.
Sit back, relax and listen to our alumni commute stories here:

‘My choice was around the brand and the school, so LBS was my only choice.’ – Ifeoma Finnih, EMBALS2023
‘Confidence is the sum of everything. You made a lot of sacrifices and realised the value towards the end was the most incredible experience’ – Sheriff Khalifa, EMBALS2024
‘Commuting is great because you focus 100% of your time and attention on studies, LBS events, and networking. The more you contribute, the more you get back.’ – Yen Tran, EMBALJ2024
‘It was a fantastic experience travelling, meeting cohorts, forming strong relationships, and participating in Global travel experiences. Commuting time was a great way to catch up on schoolwork,’ – Ifeoma Finnih, EMBALS2023
‘Over 50% of our class were commuters. I enjoyed commuting as it created a routine for me. As I stepped onto a plane, it became school time for me. I used that time to read countless cases we had to prepare for. Also, the LBS partner hotel prices were much more favourable than elsewhere.’ – Sheriff Khalifa, EMBALS2024
‘EMBA opens your mind to new adventures and makes you question many things. You leave with a tonne of close friends and advocates in all kinds of industries all over geographies. Ranked within the top 10 globally was worth a commute. It was the furthest located school from my top 3, and I am glad I selected it.’ – Sheriff Khalifa, EMBALS2024

Timely planning can go a long way in making your journey routine smoother. Still, your commute is a part of your journey, not a destination!
