Yep, this one and the Ag school at Cornell. I swear people are applying to the wrong degrees.
My DC is targeting this.

It’s not a school that attracts introverts, which is why you often hear that Hotelies are the happiest on campus. They like engaging with others.
Right now all of her courses are programmed. She practically lives at Statler which she jokingly refers to as “Statler High” because everyone is taking the same courses together in the same building. She’ll get to branch out to other courses across campus next year.
The campus is gorgeous. And she’s met some really nice people. No lie, though, Cornell is an intense place, even for Hotelies. Everyone is studying.
She already has an amazing internship lined up for the summer. She was deciding between offers from Aspen, Montauk and Jackson Hole.
OP-if this is what your son wants, tell him to go for it. His application has to have experiences in hospitality—work in restaurants or hotels, planning events, etc. Good luck!
hotel school is a joke. let’s not inflate intensity

Who actually pays tuition so their kid can learn to work at a hotel? Sounds like a good course of study for people who don't study. What an embarrassment.

Hotel school is mainly for rich people to get an easy Ivy title.
this was def what the country club SAHMs said in the 90s when I was growing up. all I know is the kids I knew who went this route have had super fun, engaging careers and can pivot in many directions.
Don't know about some kids you knew, but still the case in 2025.
Nothing much changed since the 90s.

Wednesday Wines was a fun class in the middle of the week. Of course you’re supposed to spit but most people don’t. After 3 or 6, I don’t remember which, “tastes”, most of us had a gentle buzz. Since it’s part of the curriculum, hotelies don’t need to be 21 to take the class. If you take it Soph year you can fit wine and food pairing into your schedule.
