College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

[Tedi Bara]

Hi..I have a question about the classes offered through the Disney College Program. I'm not worried about credits, I just want to take advantage of everything while I'm there. Which classes have you taken? Which classes would you reccomend? Have anyone taken an Experientail Learning class?

I am hoping to do the spring quarter advantage program in 09, but I just realized that my brother will be graduating that June. Is there any way that I would be able to get a weekend off so that I could fly home for his graduation????

You can request it off. However, there is no guarantee.

Classes? Anyone?

I took Hospitality Management my first CP. It was nice. I learned a lot from it. One that I am considering taking is Experiential Learning. I have heard good things about it.

Tedi Bara,
I am taking one of the Disney Exploration Series (DES) classes. I am taking Exploring Guest Service at the Walt Disney World Resort, and I love it so much. The DES classes are great if you just want to take advantage of the "learning" part of the CP. There are no tests, homework, or papers. Just lectures from great guest speakers as well as a great class instructor.

 

[Joanna71985]

That is another one that I am considering taking- one of the DES classes. They sound really interesting.

You can try and ask off. As soon as you get to your work location go on a head and put in that weekend you want off. The sooner you get it in the more likely you will be able to get it off.

Classes? Anyone?

I took the Communications class on my first program and I really enjoyed it. The only difficult part of the class was getting together with the people in my group for the group project at the end. All of the papers and speeches I had to do was how I was in my work area. I'm realy looking at doing the Entertainment class this time around but it just depends.

 

[Joanna71985]

Thanks =D. I'd prefer to be closer to things but I don't want to be in the partying complex lol.
Another question, where would I find the address for Chatham? I can't find it anywhere >.> lol.

Yeah, I know. I have stayed at Chatham all 3 CPs. It is really nice there.

I've read the reputations of the different complexes, namely that Vista is the place for the parties and Chatham is the newer, quieter, slightly more out of the way complex. Behind those broad strokes... has anyone written a sort of thorough compare and contrast of the atmospheres of the two complexes?

I'm trying to get a better feel for what each one offers, and I know people's opinions on them are going to be very subjective, which is why I'm trying to find out more I'm not completely bothered by the thought of a huge, boisterous partying complex, just as I'm not really bothered by a very quiet, sedate one...but I'm digging for more details and experiences.

One could compare and contrast the amenities and locations of each complex, but not really the party vs. non party atmosphere. The reason is that this has totally to do with the residents of the complex. In addition, the complexes are pretty big so it has to do with residents in a specific section of a complex.

I lived in Vista in a rather quiet area back in bldg 39. But it was only quiet during my time there. When I went back to visit a friend who was on the program and decided to go back and see who was in my old place, that area was rocking.

The atmosphere changes based on the residents. Always will.

For the television, there is only one cable outlet in Vista, so you have to get a splitter if you want your own tv in your room.
