Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I already have. The support was always there which is rare. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | It was alright, considering it was a small class. But this was ok because we got a lot of help from the teacher. |
| Program Quality | 6 | The kitchen they had there was rather small. But because of this there was a lot of help. |
| Instruction | 7 | The teacher had a great understanding of what he was teaching. He was very attentive. |
| How Difficult | 6 | We would focus on one recipe for days until we would have it almost perfect. Repetition could make everything rather dull. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Since it is baking, everything has to hands on. But we would read about food from other cultures. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | For our classes you had to be there since it had to be very hands on learning. So the flexibility was not really an option. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | The space was small. But there were a few teachers there for support. |
| Social Life | 5 | I mostly kept to myself. It's only a community college. |
| Placement Services | 3 | There was no job placement there. But it should be our job to find work. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I mostly kept to myself, but the support was great. |
