Hey, I want to persue a career in cooking, and I saw a cool college called the Culinary Institute of America. If anyone goes there or have ever been there, I want to know what it's like. Just anything that is interesting about the school or that I should know about. Or, can you recommend any other great Culinary collages? I'm only 14, so there is no huge rush, but I just want to have an idea of where I would like to be going. Thank you so much!

Actually,`CIA is in New York state. It is on the Hudson River. It is the best culinary program in the US, without question. Students with a CIA degree are highly sought after by the best restaurants in the nation.
On campus, there is a dining room / restaurant run by the students that is booked years in advance, and is quite expensive. But worth it.
Many CIA students with work-study jobs worked in the Vassar College cafeteria. I dated one of them briefly when I was an undergrad. :)

It's located in California in the wine country. I didn't attend, but I did go to dinner there, and it was amazing!! The building is beautiful and the food was some of the best I've ever had. The chefs were former students at the academy, so that proves how great the institute is! Good luck in your career!
