[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one at the hotel school at Cornell; they've always been obsessed with hotels and restaurants so it feels like their destiny.  It's part of the business school so it's a business degree with a hospitality focus.  That said, most of the grads don't actually go into hotels; a large percentage go into IB, finance etc.  Mine was very concerned with outcomes and the hotel school has a strong focus on employability and internships, as well as a strong and loyal alumni network, so it felt like a good fit.

You might also look at UNLV which is supposed to be one of the best in the US.  In Switzerland you have EHL, Glion and Les Roches, others as well... those are very interesting ecosystems so you want to do a lot of investigation or possibly try one of their summer programs.  Mine was considering those but was concerned about employability in the States -- plus my Negative Nancy parents lived in Geneva for 5 years and talked them out of it.[/quote]

OP here- thanks for the info!

My son also has always been obsessed with restaurants and hotels. As someone who paid for undergrad working in restaurants, I have discouraged it as a longer term career due to the hours, lifestyle etc.

Cornell is known to be a solid option but is not a guaranteed admit and I don’t think we can afford it. I have heard great things about the UNLV program and could probably get merit aid but have serious concerns about kid going to LV for school. So I have looked at EHL and others in Switzerland online a bit.  Could be interesting- great idea to check out the summer program.  Curious why your parents did not like Geneva?[/quote]
