I honestly have to say that the effort you put into your work, you WILL find results! I am currently a Junior in the Food Service Management program, working towards my Bachelor's Degree. I have already done my Co-op but I have to say, it's a job that will kick off your future. My boss was extremely tough and expected more out of me than all of the other interns he had because he knows that I know what I was getting myself into. Work, and work hard. You will enjoy it so much more if you do! Make It Happen!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I enjoy being here strictly for my schooling. The atmosphere that many students contribute to is not the healthiest but if you work hard, you rise above them quickly. You WILL gain respect for your hard work.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Honestly, I have traveled and visited other culinary schools, INCLUDING The Culinary Institute of America, and I really did not find anything but people who think they are better than everyone else because of the reputation that goes with the school. It may be an amazing school, but you have to put in the effort to make your life happen for you. The same goes for Johnson and Wales University- Florida Campus, except the Chefs really do care about the students, plus the classes are smaller so that means more individualized attention from your chefs.
BTW, Le Cordon Bleu is no good unless you go to the original one in France. Americans try to screw things up by mass producing and it just doesn't work... and forget all other culinary schools, quite frankly, they are not worth the time because the education is not the same and all culinary schools are expensive! $$$
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
A major tip for prospective students would be: Make sure you become best friends with your financial aid officers. Fall in love with them, as well as, your academic advisors. Res Life is another too if you plan on living on campus. People go the extra mile when you give them the respect that they deserve in return. If you do not know much about financial aid, ASK your financial aid officers and tell them you have NO idea what the hell you are getting yourself into and you want them to lay it out for you. If it makes their lives hell, tell them to get over it; it's their job to do so. You need to learn how to take control of your own life before someone else does. You don't have to be mean to them, but you definitely need to know how to manage your finances and college is a great place to start because you will be doing a hell of a lot more when you live on your own!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Amazing Culinary School- The best in my opinion!
Fantastic Business School
Criminal Justice is great, as well
Fashion is decent but you are better off to travel to NY for fashion
