I love the fact the diversity and athe fact that everyone has a passion for food. Being around other people who have the same passion as me is awesome.

The atmosphere is really condusive to taking in the full amount of the curriculum. There are plenty of people to me, much advice to be had, many great places to study indoors and out. The teachers are very helpful if you have issues that need to be dealt with outside of class. As long as you make the right decisions it is a really good atmosphere to soak in as much as possible. Everyone is here for the same reason.

The best thing about my school is that oppurtunities are so abundant. You can sign up to have a previous graduate mentor you through the Mentor- Program. There are so many job oppurtunities that are available whether you just want to do a little catering on the weekend or are looking for a full-time job after graduation. There are always Alumni and other speakers that come visit campus, many who are offering jobs , so oppurtunities are literally always knocking.

My school has many resources geared to helping students succeed as much as possible. They really want you to do well here and all of the teachers thoroughly explain something if you don't understand. You will get the best education here.

When it comes to culinary arts and hospitality management, my school is the best when it comes to that department. We are the top school in training new chefs out into the world to make everything taste better.

Anne-Marie

I love that everyone here has a passion for food. It is why we are all here. At any time you can hear students talking about the foods that they made over the weekend or talking about the different restaurants that they have worked at in the past. It is the reason that I came here. We are such a diverse campus but we all have food in common. We are either Baking and Pastry majors or Culinary Arts and they both have such a strong passion, it is absolutely wonderful!
