A Day in the Life As a CIA College Student | 2020 Pandemic Edition

[@crapolacrayons4622]

My eyes lit up when i saw the video! There is not enough culinary school youtubers!

[@biggdaddy202003]

Yeah some schools only allow students to film while in class for study purposes.There used to be a show on cooking channel called The Freshmen class. It featured students just starting culinary school. Was pretty insightful and entertaining. Some of the stuff was over dramatized for TV but it did give me an idea of what to expect when I attended culinary school in 2016. As a grad this video had me smiling lol.

I’m contemplating going in the direction of culinary arts because it’s always been a huge passion of mine but I always buried it so thank you for this video

[@TheRacingWind]

I don't know you or your circumstances but just know that the world is made richer when people pursue their dreams, and is smoother when people love their jobs. You should do it.

[@dtv1966]

I always wanted to go to CIA but the price tag was too much for me at the time. I'm talking back in the 90's. So I really appreciate this video. Living my dream through your videos. Thanks.

[@jenniferlalee]

Thank you so much!!

Yes, you have to typically pay to do laundry at other schools. Makes sense that you wouldn't have to at CIA tho since everyone is working with food all day.

Thanks so much for this great video, it helped me visualize all these places that he talks about---you did a wonderful job! By the way, did you graduate, and if so, where are you cooking?

This was such a good video to me, as well as one over the stuff people don’t typically know like summer semesters, currently this is my dream school as I’m taking culinary courses rn in my high school! (Junior atm) and it’s all been so informational lol

[@jenniferlalee]

Glad it was helpful!

A video of the meal point system would be neat? Like is it included with your tuition or is it a separate food plan you have to pay for

Was it hard figuring out where everything is? I'm an incoming freshman in 2 weeks to the NY campus and I have the most anxiety literally just about getting lost because the campus is huge😂

[@jenniferlalee]

Valorie Fell a little bit, it’s always hard during the first week, but if you arrive a day early I highly recommend trying to find your classes yourself! It’s also considered a small campus compared to other colleges:)
