As I finish up my last months of externship, I find myself wondering....why? Why didn't I shop around a little more? Don't get me wrong, I do feel as though I learned a great deal here, but the price is quite high and there's a lot going on these days that just rub me the wrong way. Exhibit A: we used to have a library with real books...now we have an empty room. We have a cyber library. Well...what I am to do when this online library real-life crashes and I needs to get my read on? Exhibit B: we used to have a fairly extensive financial aid department, but they are gone now, just like the books. Now I get to deal with some Joe shmoe on the net from who knows where. Exhibit C: no more student services peeps. Ok, really? These are probably three of the more important things students need guys! Also, if you want to be in class with people who are serious about their culinary careers, you might want to look elsewhere...cause there are a lot of kids who have mama and daddy paying for them to dick around...I get it, maybe in the first few classes, but even at the end of school, people are allowed to barely skate by with D's. I want to be in a learning environment with people who care, too. Maybe I'm asking too much...but maybe I'm not. There are some really great chef's here, but the politics and the way the school is run just makes for a lackluster experience.
