Hello.
I am new to the board and found it when I Googled The Restaurant School vs. The Art Institute Philadelphia. Finally a place with at least some honest conversation about culinary programs!
I'd prefer to stay in the Philly area while I attend a culinary program - however, I will relocate to attend the best program for me (whatever that is). I am in my sophomore year and doing well at a highly rated liberal arts college. However, my gut and heart tell me that I should have ignored my parents advice, followed my heart and gone from high school directly to a culinary program.
I plan to finish this semester and possibly another at this college and then apply to a respected culinary program for Fall '07. The reviews of the various culinary programs across the U.S. seem so inadequate and I am having a hard time trying to distinguish between the BS & the little actual info that is available. I am hoping to get some solid advice from the members here.
