    The military feeling of it comes from the schools upbringing, the school was founded to help returning vets from WW2 earn culinary degrees

    The CIA was so much fun! I went because of the structure. The whole thing was a challenge and it was something different everyday. We had parties in the dorms, we went off campus to town or up to Rhinebeck, took the train to the city, drove to New Paltz…there is plenty to do. After attending a regular state school and then going to CIA, I would choose CIA over and over. Plus, they are trying to prepare you for the demands of our business. You can’t just skip work in a restaurant or hotel when you don’t feel like going or else you’ll soon find yourself unemployed. This place used to weed out those that couldn’t hack it, though it has become far less strict in recent years in order to keep up with other chain schools. Still in my opinion, if you’re going to take the plunge and go to a culinary school, treat it like it’s already your career, be serious about it, and go to the best school you can.

    This video was super helpful and entertaining (that sneeze haha)! Videos like these are very much needed, because the CIA itself will (understandably) only post videos that show off all the great things about their school, and skip over the rough stuff. I've always wondered about the "one-upping" thing, because I know people come into the school with different levels of experience and different backgrounds and different ways of doing things. Oh and thanks for clarifying the dress code rules. With any luck, I'll soon be attending the Hyde Park NY branch for a Bachelors in Baking and Pastry Management :).

    Great video! It brought back many memories.
    Back when I first applied in 1984, there was a 2 year wait after you were approved, I started in Fall 1986. Back then there was only 1 degree you could get, A.O.S. Also, that seems like a lot of dropouts, I only knew of a handful people that quit or failed out, only 3 (that I remember) from my group of 72.
    Also you would get sent home if your uniform was incomplete, dirty or if you weren't clean shaven. And any chef passing you in the hall could make you go and change or shave but you had to come back to finish the class.
    Parties were allowed back then but you would have to be wary of the people in your dorm that had to be up at 3 a.m. for pantry class. And we would bring kegs down by the RR tracks, also we had a bar on campus, so I guess those were the good old days.
    Is Lake Veloute still there? I haven't been back to campus since probably before you were born in maybe, 1999 or 2000.

    **Thankyou for making this video, I added a few things I hope you don't mind. The first few just added to the video, the bulk of my comments are for the current and future CIA students.**
    Nobody planning a career in foodservice should complain about long hours. AM pantry for me started at 3am..I graduated in 2000. So far you're pretty accurate. To add to dress code, no facial hair except a mustache...yeah...no piercings, you'll get sent home if your whites are wrinkled. Sanitation is long, boring, dry and absolutely required. If you blow of sanitation, you shouldn't be in a kitchen, ever. The instructors at the CIA are all different. Some are amazing, some aren't, a few are a$$-holes, those are some of your best as well so don't forget it. Take them seriously, if they ask you to do some work outside, SAY YES. many of these Instructors are legends, some are CMC's. Learn everything you can from them. Keep your shoes polished, whites always white, starched and pressed. If you don't know how to iron, youtube before you start classes. Invest in hangers, keep your whites pristine. Invest in kitchen shoes: non slip sole, the must be comfortable at hour 1 and hour 12+. If they hurt, get new shoes and dont go cheap. Your future self thanks you. The brewpub up route 9 is a wonderful place and their cheddar cheese soup is legendary, I hope they are still in business. One of our greatest presidents lived in Hyde Park, go visit him, of course the one and only...FDR. There was a drive in on the right side wed drive a pickup truck and our kitchen chairs to see a double feature. If we drank too much we were a stones through from our crappy apartment. There are parties but off campus. There's some sh***y clubs in Poughkeepsie, I wouldn't recommend. New Paltz across the river was a cool place to go out. Cabaloosa if it's still there will likely still have Grateful Dead night. The acceptance rate is WAY too high, my generation had to have actual experience on foodservice, letters of recommendation from your past chefs etc. That slowly went away and you see how it affects graduation rate. It's expensive yes. If you go and f**k off, good job, you wasted a ton of money. If you work hard, grab as much information as you possibly can while you're there, it goes quick but you'll graduate with some actual skills.
    **Most Important** After you graduate, don't think for a second that you are a chef. Don't have an attitude because you "went to the CIA you're better than XYZ." You're not better than anyone anywhere. CIA grads and even externs go out with an attitude sometimes, not all of course but enough to warrant a comment from me. Drop it. It will only do harm, so if you think you may have a little ego, drop it immediately. When you earn 3 stars from Michelin, then we'll talk about a little bit of ego, until then, you are pond scum! Remember, there are dishwashers, who will do your job faster, better and cheaper than you so don't give someone reason to not like you. And ALWAYS take care of your dishwashers. Before service, make sure they eat, even if you don't have time, drop off pitchers of the soft drinks they like. Beers after work even better. Offer your cigarettes, when A Toilet explodes the most horrifying substance you've ever seen, they will be the ones going to battle, but if you're a d**che-bag, you might be going in there in their place... Not saying kiss anyone's a$s, but they were the lowest on the totem poll but now you are. If dishwashers don't like you, trust me they will be in someone's ear and you will go before they do. Just Remember this... You Are NOT A CHEF. Aspiring Culinarian? Ok, sure, but Chef? NO WAY. That's a title you need to earn and not a school on Earth can grant that title. The title of "Chef" is earned in the field. Putting your time in the trenches until you one day command a brigade of your own. Until that day, don't ever call yourself a chef. You are NOT A CHEF. You are a cook, which is a noble term, if you want to be a chef, you're going to have to earn it. A CIA diploma doesn't mean sh**. Your resume...doesn't mean sh**. You can bs your way through school and resumes quite easily. The only thing that matters is "Can you cook in a commercial kitchen?" That's it. A wiseman once said "Don't Sing it, Bring it". Don't tell me how great you are, let greatness speak for itself and you just keep your mouth shut. Good luck.

    I went to Institut Paul Bocuse and it sounds exactly the same, but we definitely partied when we could, and the academic side was fucking hard. You were also expected to rent your own place. Got through 2 years and 1 internship but didn't make it in the end - I didn't do well on the theory side of things and I just underperformed so they kicked me out. I thought it was harsh them not giving me a second chance but shit happens. I've been working in restaurants since, but I haven't got a degree - hasn't stopped me from finding work in kitchens but I think I still want a degree you know. Hope your experience is better but it must be hard with Covid. Great video! Good luck!

You mentioned there is no summer vacations, but you forgot to mention no spring vacation and once in a while there are Saturday classes. When you mentioned people being stuck up I think you were more so looking for that that everyone is egotistical, which is very true. Really the number of overblown egos there is the reason why I left New York State after graduation.

The idea that I who had been there for a year had less priority on classes than someone who had just arrived makes no sense and still baffles me. My academic advisor doesn’t respond to any emails by me. That’s just scratching the surface; I have so many horror stories. I really wanted to love it but, the CIA lives off a name purely.

      Yes they do. I taken a few recreation classes at Hyde Park. You get breakfast and a nice apron to take home. The classes tend to be expensive. If you live in the NY area you might consider the Institute of Culinary Education(ICE) instead at half the price.

    • @fusionchef1

    Is the associate in baking / culinary a useful degree? tho it's just 1 1/2 year compared to a bachelor but what's the major difference between the both? I hope it's not like in associate they don't teach everything and just brush through topics?

    • @jenniferlalee
      @jenniferlalee  3 роки тому +1

      an associates degree definitely does not just brush through! You just take less academics, otherwise all the kitchen classes are the same for both! The main difference is that for bachelors you can choose to concentrate in business management or food science along with either being a Culinary or B&P student. So im just doing an associates to advance my baking skills, but I do plan on transferring to a state school after to get a business degree there to save some money!!

I know I’ve done knife skills like 30 times😅. yeah I guess you should prob just have experience but idk. I also am a super young 8th grader so I don’t turn 18 until I’m in college so I might have to get like an internship cuz I can’t get a job with my age before college. I think what’s best is just to cook and bake often and enjoy being in the kitchen, and immerse yourself in cultures and foods. maybe I’ll see you guys at cia? it’s a long shot😅. have fun in the kitchen💛💛
