I often say that The CIA is the Vatican city for Culinary Arts. It has a beautiful, green and eco-friendly campus. It has a beautiful location and a topographic view of the river Hudson. The hospitality provided by faculty and students to the freshmen is outstanding. The food experience is a complete Theobroma and I feel that I am living amongst gourmets. I live, think, talk and dream on foods. The college stands for its reputation and gives 1000 births every year to the food leaders of tomorrow. I will try my best to be one of them.

I always brag about the meal plan at school. It isn't like your ordinary college where you swipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner and have an endless buffet of food; that is how the infamous "Freshman 15" came into play. At my school, we get to choose from 20 plus kitchens to eat our meals at. When we swipe we choose from a menu of on average 5 dishes and we get one restaurant status plate. I love eating at my school; we get free salad, dessert and bread. We also get free laundry and have an amazing gym.

Every class I had the opportunity to sit-in on was so intense and I loved every minute of it.

Chef Chang does a demo on You Tube of her butchering a whole chicken in 12 seconds, she butchered five whole chickens in less than one minute with a cleaver in class.

The Culinary Institute of America is so much fun. In your classes your allowed hands on 70% of the time and your not judge if you're unfamiliar with the product. The teachers take there time to help you and you'll never starve.

There are a few things I like to tell my friends about my school. One is the "cafeteria food." At The Culinary Institute of America, the students make the food. I love that system; its a learning experience for both those cooking/baking and those eating. I also like to tell them about externship and our wine trip. I externed in California, which I absolutely loved. When I get into the Bachelors Program, I will get to travel to Spain, Italy or California for a wine seminar.

Its the best in the world for my career. I will be a graduate with my bachelors degree in just over 3 years total.
