hey I need information about some universities in the US...?

Question

I have been reading through countless university websites, first I check obviously if they have the degree m looking for (hotel and restaurant management) and whether they are acredited or not... but only people who live in the US and really know the reputation of these institutions would probably be able to give me a bit more info... I would like to know if Cal state pomona is a good university? I have been told the area is not too good so that made me a little hesitant, has alliant international university got a good reputation? when students graduate from these institutions is it easy for them to find jobs? also I have been kind of hesistant about applying to northwood university... just general info good or bad that nayone might have for me? and any other suggestions of universities I could consider applying to?
thank and sorry for the looooong question...

Answer 1

I got my degree in hotel & restaurant management from Cal Poly Pomona long ago, and the school has grown and improved a lot and is now considered one of the best in the country for that field. Pomona itself isn't the greatest area, but there are plenty of communities around where you can live if you won't be on campus (and the campus itself is perfectly safe). The job situation is good; I don't know, though, how easy it will be for you if you don't already have permission to work in the U.S.

Alliant, on the other hand, is NOT good - they were formed out of the failure of USIU a number of years ago, and USIU was just one step above a diploma mill. I get the feeling that Northwood is very similar, from what I have read.
