Hi All
I just learned that the Art Institutes in my area is now offering a pastry degree (that I think is) similar to the one I was pursuing years ago at Johnson & Wales. Family concerns are why I quit school way back when, and they have figured prominently in why I have not returned. I live in an area where the nearest school that offers a pastry degree is at least 3-4 hours distant. It's just so hard to ask your spouse to leave a good job and your kids to give up life as they know it. BUT the PASSION I felt for the field has never ceased. Nothing I have ever done has excited me like baking breads and making desserts. I have spent the interim in clerical jobs that do not fuel my soul, just pay the bills.
I am planning to attend an upcoming open house so I can check them out, get a feel for financial aid, etc. But I wondered if you, my fellow SE' ers, know anything about this institution. Their reputation, quailty of an education through them, anything really. I know they are NOT a top school, but just the fact that I could attend without absolutely having to relocate is a big factor for me.
