I was advised yesterday to make note of all the things that had happened in the past 2 years of being in The school of hospitality business, that has made me disenchanted with the major, the school and the people. these include:
-During the last week of classes before finals in 2005, I was told to disenroll because I made my advisor aware of my Eating Disorder. I went so far as to meet with the Dean of the school and told her I didnt want to disenroll.
-Sales class, my professor forcing me to spend $100 dollars to change my flight time because it interfered with the ONLY retake option he was offering for an exam. The thing was, the flight was for a SCHOOL RELATED event. His reasoning "You don't HAVE to go to NYC."
-Les Gourmets 2006 and the infamous Lindsay Sullenger, recieving no credit for what I did on NO BUDGET.
-Finance Summer of 2006. Missing the first week due to the death of my grandmother, finishing the class, recieving an "I", the professor never being in his office hours and the "I" turning to a 0.0
-Being advised to take two classes at the same time, meaning literally, the same days and time, and failing them both, while my advisor was fully aware of my struggles and problems that came related to my eating disorder.
-Les Gourmets 2007, making the school look amazing, doing an extra dinner for the president and doing the dinner for the class and still FAILING HB 485.
I am going to type this all up, and go to the ombudsman at some point this summer.
Normally, I blame myself, but it was shown to me that I was taken advantage of in many cases, my professors being aware of my problems- and even in a normal state of mind, i was misguided.
so. for future refrence- I have no idea why my school is respected so highly.
