Putting Students First
“The flexibility is great at BSL. In the middle of my studies family events threatened to end my studies, but BSL was accommodating and worked with me to ensure that I followed through in earning my Bachelor’s degree.”
The Reality Factor
“In teaching, BSL didn’t sugar coat things. Professor Pai’s honesty was sometimes tough to hear. He was very critical and challenged any new ideas we thought genius. But I gained a lot of respect for him and became aware of how real business works. In the end, we can only achieve through hard work and being real to ourselves.”
The Bigger Picture
“I started with the Oslo Freedom Forum in 2009, but it was at BSL where I first learned of the importance of freedom in economic growth. And it really is true, it’s no coincidence that the most developed countries are those where people are free.”
