One of the things I would most like to discuss is Crandall University's instructors' willingness to go above and beyond to help us succeed. They are always accessible to answer our questions and provide us with wise counsel, whether it is during office hours, online, or even after class. Their dedication to our academic growth is tremendously motivating. They create a friendly environment in the classroom where children feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and asking for help. This not only fosters a sense of belonging and community, but it also facilitates meaningful conversations and peer learning.

Joining Mcmaster University is a wonderful experience. I personally have learned a lot. In addition, I really recommend and encourage students to join this school. University has a variety of courses.
I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
