Each chef and professor has a different teaching style which really helps me learn. I think by getting so many views on one topic I am able to understand it better because one chef may be able to explain a topic more clearly than another. The variety of teaching styles keeps the information fresh and new while still sticking to the basics that everyone NEEDS to know.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Whether I am in a classroom, kitchen, my dorm room, or wandering the campus, I am loving every minute at the Culinary Institute of America. I am learning so much while I am in class and I really do feel like I expand my skills every single day. Once classes are over I am able to relax and do my own thing but I am never bored. There are always on and off campus activities and even if none of them interest me, the campus is so beautiful that I could just walk around campus all day long.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Attending the Culinary Institute is definitely not a cheap endeavor however, it is worth every penny. I have to keep my GPA up to hold onto scholarships and I am constantly on the look out for more scholarships. I work hard to pay for this school but everyday I step into the kitchen I know it is worth it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1. Get your name out there and apply to a lot of places when looking for your required 6 months in the field
2. Continuously look for scholarships before and after entering this school
3. Get the most out of your 6 months in the field because the more you learn then the more you can expand when you arrive at school
Which types of students will excel at your college?
1. Determined
2. Dedicated
3. Artistic
4. Hard working
5. Confident
6. Open minded
