you should be in like in like 8th or 9th grade by now, if you really want to get started in CIA when you graduate high school. do yourself a favor and WORK IN A RESTAURANT FIRST (ive seen so many culinary graduates come work in the restaurant and quit after a couple weeks or months. Cooking is fun and an amazing way to spend your time, cooking in a restaurant is not for most, its stressfull, theres sometimes conflict with your coworkers, and its HOT, i mean its really HOT, especially if your on grill. To be a succesfull chef you need to love cooking AND loving the pressure, stresss, and adrenaline that comes with a busy kitchen service. Work in a restaurant as a prep cook part time and see if you like it, also wouldnt hurt to get experience early on. Polish your skills while your still young

My son is going in the fall and just got his schedule, he has classes Tues - Saturday, but he's also in the culinary program for his bachelors degree and classes between 2pm - 6pm. I am really glad I came across your videos, really informative.

I’m literally a sophomore in high school and I’m more into this then my SAT’s and other stuff 😂 I really love your videos though! I always watch your KZread videos and wonder how it’s going to be like for me once i can attend a culinary school. Anyways I wish you the best in what you’re trying to achieve

One thing you should make very clear if you show up to kitchen class unprepared you will get kicked out at least for culinary students. I can't help but laugh when you say you failed servsafe by one point as that is how it normally goes with that test for those that fail. The food is far better there than any other college or cafeteria at a work place.

Some rooms in Hudson actually have private bathrooms, the designs and layouts of the rooms actually change for each floor. Angell and Pick both have options for singles, doubles, and triples. All rooms in Angell have private bathrooms, can't speak for Pick though!

Aren't you doing a associates program can you show us all of your books

Lolllll I keep getting like Purdue, Franklin University, Wright State (I’m from Ohio btw that’s where the school is), Penn State, etc.

Hi! I know this is an older video but I really have a burning question rn. So I’m having a crisis where I’m in a University here to study Pre-Nursing but I’m suddenly not having a liking towards that career path anymore. I’ve been baking since I was around 15 as a hobby and for fun and I watch a lot of Baking shows. For years it has just been a hobby but now I’m having thoughts of maybe pursuing a career in it. I’ve just started watching your videos today (btw subscribed!) and I’m thinking of attending CIA next semester. Do you think I’m making a good decision? I love you and your videos, the content is amazing!!!

Hello Have been watching your video from a while n it’s quite interesting and even I m planning to join CIA. Could you please the me the duration of associate degree in Culinary arts as well as the duration for Bachelors degree in culinary arts like the duration of the course. Please reply ❤️

Hi this might be a dumb question but I’m a senior and I never took a culinary class so I know nothing about anything if that makes sense. I couldn’t take them cuz my counselor said I couldn’t for some reason and I want to go to CIA. Should I still apply even tho I’ve never taken a culinary class in my life?

I honestly had that same decision to make. They are both great schools. But I ended up choosing CIA only because I felt like their kitchen classes are better. I honestly liked their dorms 10x more too. Honestly JW is more of a regular college with a culinary program and CIA is definitely like a Culinary culinary college. But that’s just my option, hope it helps!!

Don’t waste your money on that servsafe book. If the school does a prep for the test that’s all you need to know. Just take notes on basically all of the temperature and time requirements. There are other things you need to know but it’s common sense. My school did a prep a week before the test date and I didn’t buy the book and passed on the first try with a 95.

@jenniferlalee

3 жыл бұрын

yeah, I totally get that but you need to at the CIA. not for the book itself really, but for the test scan-tron that comes in it. The school does not provide the test sheet and many students have tried ordering a cheaper option or it separately. And usually they are not the same and the school will not allow you to take it. That’s why:)

So I'm attending in August and do you mind making a video comparing the pastry program against the culinary program? I cant choose.. I do catering for a living. Ive been working for myself the last 5 years. I chose to go to CIA to strengthen my business (my skills) and I really want to take both! Right now it seems logical to take culinary, but I am so attracted to the science aspect and principles of baking and I love how the science behind things can translate to culinary in my personal life.... Any thoughts would be appreciated (:

If I’m gonna be honest I really can’t compare the two, they are both equally great. They are also very different, so it all goes down to which you prefer!! Also I do not recommend doing both, I heard it is very hard to make a schedule. Sorry I couldn’t help more:(

they do want experience. fast food is not the best but something is much better than nothing. Catering tends to be king as far a work experience goes. Despite this, the most important thing is to show a serious dedicated mentality. you prove this with recommendations from teachers, community leaders. one super plus is you have the ability to in high school there are often dedicated tech schools with culinary programs that you can take while still in highschool.
