ADE Course

Classes are good, I would try to make them more interactive and with more practices in class. Professors normally are good, in the english course I believe the english of the teachers could be better specially if the course is taught in that language. I also believe professors could interact more with their students and try to get in contact with students they see may be struggling. Otherwise the campus, although a bit small is fine, really nice, the library could be a little bigger.

Supportive Environment, Faculty and Academics

C3S is a very good Institution for International Students. The lecturers here are so enthusiastic and truly passionate about their subjects; their knowledge and encouragement make me feel ready for my future career. At C3S, I really felt like I belonged; the diversity is incredible, and everyone is genuinely kind. Plus, the support systems are really strong. The courses are top-notch, and the learning experience really sets you up for great career opportunities.

Student in 2013

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.

The attitude and the atmosphere

The classes are so intresting I love how they they teach you about psychology and business strategy, I really like how the teachers are real professionals in terms of marketing , buisness... overall I really enjoy it.
