<p>How is the School of Hospitality Administration?? Is anyone going?</p>
<p>There are a number of threads on this, if you search. It's a small school, has a brand new building (with a lobby like a hotel - on purpose), lots of internships - this is Boston, after all, growing reputation. You should consider visiting them.</p>
<p>im going (10 char)</p>
<p>From what I have seen, it is very nice. As alot of people have already posted, the new building is very nice and has the hotel lobby. But the school itself is alot more than just the building. I am trying to get into SHA as a transfer and will find out this May. Luckily, I got the chance to meet with Dean Stamas and have stayed in contact with him ever since. He told me alot about the school and what it has to offer. All the professors teach from a standpoint of academic knowledge and experience in the field. The school also attracts tons of big-name companies and high-level employees of those companies all the way up to lectures from CEO's. Being in Boston, there are endless internship and job opportunities that students can take advantage of. Another thing that is unique to SHA compared to the rest of BU is the size. While BU has thousands upon thousands of students, SHA itself only has a few hundred, I believe the number was around 350 or so. I know that there were only approximately 64 incoming freshman last year in SHA. This makes for a far more intimate and interactive environment than most BU students will receive in their classes. Congrats on getting in. Hopefully I will get my acceptance there and be able to join you if you choose to go.</p>
<p>good info Devilsrule, but would you happen to know the job opprotunities after graduation?</p>
<p>I'd like to give you some good info but it would just be speculation on my part. I wasn't really given too many specifics on the post-graduation job opportunities but I was shown many examples of students who immediately went on to work for companies that they had done internships with. These companies included Hilton, Starwood, Marriott, Hyatt, Aramark, etc. All the big names in hospitality. Obviously, being in a big city will lead to lots of job opportunities and because SHA is one of the only hosp. schools in the area, there are always jobs being offered to students with passion and enthusiasm. I know that the Career Services office will also assist with finding job opportunites in Boston and the surrounding area after graduation. BU has a great reputation in the city and it's graduates are highly respected among employers. Securing a job after graduation, long as you have the mentioned enthusiasm and drive, shouldn't be a problem at all at BU.</p>
<p>Is NYU better in hotel management than Boston?</p>
<p>anyone????</p>
<p>NYU's hotel school is newer. BU i think might be better. If you have the stats to BU and NYU try Cornell....</p>
<p>That no one knows anything about NYU's program is perhaps telling. It doesn't have much of a profile. I had to look it up to learn about it. </p>
<p>As an example to show what I mean, everyone around here knows about Syracuse's communications school. Ask about it and people have at least a base level of knowing that it exists. Never heard of NYU's program in your field.</p>
<p>NYU's program is within its School of Continuing and Professional Studies. That school is really geared for people who are in the work force and looking for some college courses for whatever reason. It is not a traditional school for college age students. However, they apparently do have a program within that school for traditional college age students in hotel management and sports management. Not at all sure about its reputation but NYU is a great school and NYC is a great city to learn about the industry.</p>
<p>I would encourage a good look at the BU SHA program. I am just back from Admitted Students Open House with my daughter and we both could not be more impressed with the professors, students and their stories and the individual attention that we received. Good luck!</p>
