<p>Actually, the Hotel School has a class called Facilities Operations which is better known as Flush and Gush...they do teach you how to plunge toilets.</p>
<p>I bet u can get a business degree and still take some Hotel classes if that's wat u want. It kinda sounds like u already have ur mind made up to tell u the truth. I do think the Hotel School is a fine fine school...hence the #1 rating. But if u think u might not end up being able to utilize that education as compared to a business one then take business along with some hotel classes.</p>
<p>My father's best friend went to the hotel school. Right out of college, he got a relatively-low paying job, but with the experiences he got and his resume, he was able to open a few restaurants. He now has a house is now worth well over a million dollars.</p>
<p>According to this:</p>
<p>the median salary for the class of 2006 jumped to $45,000, which is not too bad...</p>
<p>Honestly 39,000 is still a MEDIAN salary. I have the complete pamphlet that i recieved from them and there were a couple people in Finance making over 75,000 starting salary. so that means if ur smart and a hard-worker, your salary will be higher than those who are not.</p>
<p>It looks like my parents aren't going to let me go to Hotel School anyway, so I'll likely apply to the Ag school. </p>
<p>I only wish that students OUTSIDE of the Hotel School could take classes within the school, but I believe they're exclusive to the hotelies.</p>
<p>Students are allowed to take classes in any colleges. This goes along with the mission statement and the goal of the college. You are allowed to explore and enjoy other fields of education and knowledge at your leisure as long as you fulfill your major requirements. One of the most popular hotel school classes that students like to take is the Wine Tasting class. Hopefully I'll be able to take that! It would be a great skill to learn and probably a very enjoyable class.</p>
<p>Ahh, so you ARE allowed to take Hotel School courses? I would hate to miss out on the Intro to Wines! I was under the impression that that was the one school which was exclusive to its own students. Great news.</p>
<p>As far as I know you can take a class in any college. If anyone has knowledge otherwise speak up.</p>
<p>The Wine tasting class sounds awesome lol tho is it true that it’s one of the more difficult classes, cuz it involves chem./ math????? I heard something about more ppl failing out or something…lol</p>
<p>yeahhh, that's what i heard too! Like...its the most failed class in the Hotel School, or something like that..</p>
<p>Yep, our tour guide said it was the most failed course because it's much harder than most people think...memorizing how to pair wines with food, I guess.</p>
<p>I'd be cool w/ that but not w/ math n science. Hmmm</p>
<p>hahaha…I know same here...i don’t think my math/science skills are good enough for actual application…now memorizing…i think I have that down pretty well lol it would really be a bummer tho, if this were to be true ;( someone who has taken the class should maybe confirm!</p>
<p>anyone heard of a hotel school graduate deciding to goto law school?</p>
<p>yeah my interviewer went to law school after SHA. shes a corporate lawyer for some e-trading firm in san francisco. go figure.</p>
<p>How many people from SHA get masters degree in Business?</p>
<p>I heard a lot of people do, since the hospitality industry is basically business with an awesome twist :D</p>
<p>Does anyone know how the workload at the Hotel School compare with the other majors (below average, above average, etc.)? Like..how many hours of outside studying per hour in class?</p>
<p>"shes a corporate lawyer for some e-trading firm in san francisco. go figure."</p>
<p>See, that's exactly why I think I should reconsider Hotel School. Because it's more than likely that I will not end up in the hospitality industry afterwards. I think I'm only attracted to it because it seems fun.</p>
<p>yousonofatree, from what I've heard around CC, it is below average. I don't know any amounts, but I've seen people say that the only Cornell students who don't complain about their work load/difficulty of the work are hotelies.</p>
