This unique experience will afford students the opportunity to meet their peers from other schools and to live and learn in an international environment, which will enhance their Hospitality and Culinary education. Because the Hospitality and Culinary classes only meet 3 days per week, students will have ample time to visit European tourist sites and taste its beverages and cuisines. The first 2 weeks, during the Montreux Jazz Festival, the students are housed in the HIM Hotel Institute of Management, a hotel school that overlooks beautiful Lake Geneva in Switzerland. It too is located on a large lake surrounded by a green rolling countryside.
Students live in double occupancy rooms.
Continental breakfast and lunch are provided on class days. Experience has shown that students prefer to find their own local eating spots in the evening. Not included in the program fee are breakfast, lunch and dinner on non-class days, any transportation other than Eurail, and accommodations when not on campus. These additional expenses are reasonable as the program has recommendations for affordable hotels and restaurants.
