I am learning a lot but am currently in the academic classes. I haven't done labs yet and feel like I will learn a lot more once I get into the actual food-making process. Currently, the academic classes are good, but I know a lot of what they are discussing. For example, we have covered macro and micro nutrients in my nutrition class and I already am thoroughly informed on both of those things.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love it here! Every one is so nice. The teachers are amazing and everyone is wonderful. The students are friendly and there is a wide variety of people. The staff are friendly and the people who work in the Cafeteria are so nice! They brought me out vegan corn and rice twice already. Everyone's accommodating and the campus is beautiful and cozy. There are things to do (volleyball, shopping, table tennis) and a huge array of clubs (I am in swimming and CAB- campus activities board). It's a very enjoyable school!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The food is great, the classes are thorough, the students are nice, and they offer a lot of activities and clubs. I would say it's a little overpriced but it is a private school and you are pretty close to the mountains. I do feel taken care of though. I don't feel cheated or pick-pocketed. It's a great school and I'm happy to be here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would say respective is the most important thing. Come armed with an open mind and you will do absolutely fine. Bring warm weather clothes and sunglasses. I know that sounds so opposite but it's so sunny every day in this area that I regret not bringing mine, but I am SO glad I brought all my hoodies and gloves. It can get chilly! Also I would say get to know the teachers and really know them. They want to know you so it shouldn't be hard. One of my professors takes the kids he knows on field trips so it's really good to be in the know. They're really great people so get out there; send e-mails and don't stay in the dorm!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
It's great for any one! Honestly! There are gamers, hippies, hard-core athletes, soft-core athletes, and a ton more of just regular happy people. It's a personal campus; I feel like I know everyone already! So it's probably not the best for those that like those huge campuses, but it's not much of a problem because downtown's not so far away and you could always go there on the weekends if you want to be surrounded by more people. I would say the adventure-loving person will do the best here. Try new foods, meet new people, hike and explore the area... it's all good!
