<p>how is BU's SHA? any info is helpful? for exapmle, is number/stats wise, easier, but depending on work exeprience or what? thanks!!</p>
<p>I have no idea in terms of what you need to get in, but it's very well regarded.</p>
<p>I posted info on SHA in a few other posts. Definitely do some searches for them because I provided some detailed answers on my experience there. I love SHA and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.</p>
<p>I found a detailed post I when asked what my likes and dislikes were regarding SHA. Hope this is of assistance:</p>
<p>I'd be happy to share some likes and dislikes.</p>
<p>Likes:
-The size of the school. It is only 350 students, making it by far the smallest school at BU. That gives us the personal attention and small close-knit school attitude that we like, within a large university. Classes average around 30 or so and signing up for class is a breeze, unlike with other colleges in BU. It is so small that each student actually had an individual student mailbox!
-The curriculum is really good. There is a core line of hospitality courses such as marketing, accoutning, HR, technology, law, etc. There are general requirements in the arts and sciences such as writing, economics, history, statistics, etc. And then you take your choice of hospitality electives that most interest you. This is where your personal interests come into play. I love the business management side of hotels so I took sales, PR, hotel development, etc. There are tons of electives for every interest.
-As you saw the past summer, the buildling is beautiful and new. It is the newest school building on the campus and every classroom is state of the art. It is really good to feel appreciated within the university and to be given such a cool home for our school.
-The staff and faulty are excellent. SHA is small so there are only a few professors but they are all very friendly and accessible. My parents came up and went to a SHA reception. They must have spent half an hour talking to each one of my professors. They are all very down to earth, unlike some oddballs in math or science. That is not to say that they are easy. Some aren't too bad, but some are quite challenging. But they are very friendly and always welcome students to their office hours.
-The career opportunities and services. The school is always helping us build our resumes and secure jobs with major hospitality companies. Big companies are recruiting on campus every day because they recognize SHA is a great source of very bright students. Two 400 hr work experiences are required for SHA students as well as an international experience. There are invaluable.</p>
<p>Dislikes:
-There is only one major in SHA: hospitality administration. I always wished that there was a seperate major and track of courses for hotel students, restaurant students, and perhaps event management students. However, one can concentrate on a certain field by taking many electives in one particular area. After all, hotel students need to understand food and beverage services. And restaurant students need to understand accounting and marketing. So I guess having one single degree isn't such a problem. It is essentially a business degree with a focus on service industry.
-The SHA building is a bit far from the heart of campus. It is across the street from Agganis arena a block down from the west campus dorms. However, it is only a 5 min T ride or a 10 min walk right down into the heart of east campus. Not much of a problem I guess. Pretty hard to come up with honest dislikes </p>
<p>I hope this information helps a bit. If you have any other questions, ask me anytime. I'll be sure to answer fast as I can. If you are interested in SHA, I would recommend calling admissions and scheduling a day host meeting. This is a program where prospective students get paired up with a BU student for 4 hours and get to experience a day in the life of BU. You would get to go with a BU student to class and also go to the cafeteria for lunch. It is probably the best way to learn about a school, from the perspective of an unbiased student. Again, hope all this helps!</p>
