My name is Kyle Cho and I am currently enrolled at Kendall College.
I would like to share some of my personal opinions about Kendall College.   I am a Korean, who has lived in 11 different cities in Europe, Asia and North America. The main reason why I decided to study at Kendall College is because of the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. Kendall College is located in the heart of the American Hospitality and Mice industry, Chicago, and it is the best city to experience American culture and the hospitality industry in the United States.   While the school doesn't have any  organized student sports teams, there are a lot of off campus activities in Chicago like marathons, golf, squash and indoor soccer. There are concerts, musicals and events in Chicago pretty much every day, so hopefully you  will have enough time to enjoy it all.  The school offers a lot of indoor activities as well, like International Club parties/gatherings, which you can gather with the people from all over the world. Moreover, the school offers fieldtrips to the hotels, restaurants and the local sustainable businesses to get some ideas on the industry/business. The best part of being a Kendall student is that wherever I go in the school, I see at least 10~15 different nationalities. Moreover, hospitality and other businesses nowadays, are all about working with people who have different aspects and cultures. So, in terms of learning that, Kendall College is the best place to prepare for your future career. I believe that Kendall College will be one of the most valuable investments for my life and future career.
