[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only speak to 30 years ago, but the Hotel School students then seemed to be among the most outgoing and social, and least stressed, of kids at Cornell.

They did not seem to be the most intellectual. And I'm not dissing them at all, they were plenty intelligent and were very successful after graduating, they just weren't the students that had jumped ahead three years in math, or already had a patent, or what have you. But I know many, including a close friend, who have been very successful in business, and not just the hospitality business. Many go on to get an MBA. The alumni network is also very strong.

As to the classes, there were required classes then that involved learning how to make a bed (that was just one part of the class, but it was required, I suppose if you're going to run a hotel you should know) and a [b]semester long class called "TCAB" (Terrace Cafe and Bistro) where the students ran a restaurant for the whole semester.[/b] Each student was required to head up one night (theme, menu, food ordering, staff--which was the other students---etc) and invited friends to come to their night to eat.  But of course there were also just regular business, finance, management, marketing-type courses too.[/quote]

That sounds so fun! I want to take that class![/quote]
