Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Let me start by saying, that if you are willing to work hard and listen to your chef instructors, that you will learn the information that you are paying to get. They are very knowledgeable, and willing to teach those who show an interest in the field. If you show them you have potential, and are willing to go the extra mile, they will return the favor. i had several instructors that stayed after class with me regularly, and payed me extra attention because i wanted to learn. however, i feel that most of the people accepted to this school are not dedicated enough to do so. The school was recently bought by the CEC, and since then their main motivation seems to be making money by accepting anyone and everyone who is the slightest bit interested in cooking. The school has relocated to a new building, which is shiny and new, but it is obvious they are having some trouble filling it with bodies. this new expansion tactic seems to be steadily diminishing the school's reputation. The school also seems to be having some trouble with their administration. it is my belief that they hire mostly post-lobotomy to run this side of things. they will probably lose your payments, and schedule you are the wrong classes, and forget to inform you of the latest updates. they vomit up information at the very last minute, and in the end you will be the one blamed for it. Finally, if you are expecting to live in a glorious dorm room with all the amenities, i hope you have billions of dollars stashed away to do so. for those who dont, you can expect to live in a roach infested 12' by 12' room with a complete stranger, in the middle of the tenderloin in san fransisco. whether it be the old dorm rooms (that are soon closing) or a nearby hotel, the tenderloin is one of the only affordable living options in the area.

Faculty was experienced, devoted to students, and passionate about transferring knowledge. Courses included lots more global cuisine classes than other scools and enough baking and pastry and butchery to feel a little confident and be somewhat dangerous. I've hired a few more recent graduates and, even when they affiliated with LCB, they kept the good things that set CCA apart. They have an amazing placement department, too. If you WANT to work, I can't imagine not being able to find a good job with this education. The California Hall is beautiful and they dump money into it all the time. And there is no better place in the world to study food besides San Francisco. I'd definitely go again or reccomend it. Education Quality: A+, Extracurricular Activities: C+ Have a Question?
