The chefs an professors at school are amazing. Everyday that I step into the classroom I learn things. All of the chefs that I have encountered have done everything that they could to help me learn. They will stay late or come early if you ask them to. My suggestion is if you are having problems with something don't be afraid to ask for help. The chefs and professors will do everything in their power to help you. Remember if you are going to school here you are paying big $$$$$, it's not worth it if you don't ask questions.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Truthfully, I love the Charlotte campus. The dorms are great and the city is amazing. There is a lot to do as long as you don't want to stay out late. The campus is in the business district of Charlotte and everything shuts down at night. But, if you can't find something to do around town, espescially on College St, there is always the Quad filled with people and the common rooms. If that's not enough, there are so many clubs and activities that you can join.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Join clubs such as ice chippers, the baking and pastry club or student government. If sports are more your style their are all kinds of sport clubs that were just recently created. All of the clubs are relatively cheap and that's what you are looking for on a college budget. Another thing that you can do if you are in the college of culinary is volunteer for Chef's Choice! They are classes for people that are in the community. It is really good for the Baking and Pastry and Culinary students. You can gain eperience in your own field or you can experiment with the opposite program. There are many things you can learn like sushi rolling and how to make breads. You don't have to pay for them! They are on the weekends so you don't have to worry about them conflicting with your class schedule.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is great for people who want to get right into the industry after college.
