At BISP, we were delighted to welcome back Matteo Trocherie-Rey from the Class of 2024, who returned to campus to speak with current students about life after BISP. Matteo is now studying Business Administration at the University of Southern California (USC).

In a relaxed and engaging session with Year 12 students, Matteo reflected on the transition from the IB to university life in the United States. He offered practical advice on how to approach the challenges of Year 13 and shared thoughtful insights into adapting to the academic and social environment at a US college — including some amusing anecdotes about the unique culture of fraternities and sororities.

Students appreciated Matteo’s honesty, humour, and helpful tips as they begin thinking about their own post-BISP journeys. It’s always inspiring to see alumni giving back and staying connected to our school community.

Visits like Matteo’s are a valuable reminder of the global paths our students go on to follow, and the strong sense of connection that continues well beyond graduation. We look forward to welcoming more alumni back to BISP in the future.
