Hi Sara! I was in Edmonton a few years back, what a pretty city you live in! My guess is that finances will determine where your school ends up going...clearly Italy will be more expensive for obvious reasons, but it's the place that I would recommend to you. I lived in NYC for 2 years and it's great for seeing museums, Ground Zero, and the Statue of Liberty. A Broadway production is always exciting, too. But to be able to go to Europe, and to go YOUNG is such a rare opportunity for students in the USA and Canada. In Italy you will see what remains of the layers of civilization that existed, especially in Rome and Pompeii. Experiencing another culture and language teaches you far more than you can imagine. Italy is beautiful, it's cuisine is worldclass and all of those designer labels you see in NYC from Italy are far less expensive in Rome, Florence, and Milan. Whatever you decide, Sara, learn and see everything that you can, and have a wonderful time!

Italy is a great place to visit as you must already know; I've lived here for the past ten years. However, with family here it's likely you'll be able to come back and visit here again. If you've never been to New York, you might want to do that and experience something different.

How many languages do you recommend someone take in high school

How many languages do you recommend someone take in high school?
From either experience or even having just heard info about this. I really wanted to take italian this summer at a community college that i will also be taking a writing class in. I am a sophomore now, 16, and going to be a junior next year, i will also be taking college in high school for credits. So i will take a german class that is joint with an english class(hope that makes sense). To prepare myself im going to take a writing class...but i wanted to take italian. If i take italian and it was offered again, at another quarter then i would take the second course. BUT...because i want to go into the medical field, i am now torn because i am being offered to take Latin. What do you think? I also want to go to europe again....possibly a cooking school in italy or france. I understand that kids in other countries learn tons of languages at once and take extensive courses, but im not set up that way and im scared of trying it but i also want a challenge. Also, i was thinking of seperating the classes...like german first year (this upcoming yr) and then italian/latin.....what do you think?

Have no clue on which Culinary School to go to

Have no clue on which Culinary School to go to!!!?
So I'm about to be a senior and I want to start sending application before winter break. I've been struggling on where to go and what would be the best degree to get. I have recently competed in the ProStart cUlinary competition and won $12,000 scholarship to Culinary Art Institute or Kendall. I was thinking about my local colleg, University of Anchorgae Alaska because they have a study abroad program and I would go to school in Italy for a year, I LOVE that..so I have no clue where to go Art Institute or UAA...

The art institutes are known for their culinary program, that might be something you want to consider. Also, before making a decision, visit the culinary schools that you are interested in.

Here is my recommendation....The CIA (Culinary Institute of America ) or Johnson & Wales University is an excellent school, Kendall University in Chicago,IL. is a pretty good school too, but I think I would look into the Le Cordon Bleu program at a culinary college near you or you can contact them on line..They are many schools that offer the LCB program..Their main office is located in Schaumburg, IL. but have many schools across the US. With this school after you graduate the cooking and baking classes, you can also further your studies for higher degrees thru them and they are recognized the world over. They also offer the LCB courses at the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, Il. (CHIC),extremely expensive but extremely worth it.You can write your own paycheck after that..seriously...It would also be cheaper tuition if you went to college in your home state,rather than paying twice the amount for out of state tuition.....Are you referring to the Culinary Art Institute in Chicago,IL.?? If so I am not familiar with their programs...DO YOUR HOMEWORK before deciding on a culinary school..MY choiices would be Johnson&Wales, Culinary Institute of America and Le Cordon Bleu.I hope this helps and good luck, if you have further questions, email me.....
