College Program Questions Thread Pt 2

This last trip I was able to see how beautiful and awesome Florida really is. There's so much to do and I love the weather. My sister is a zoologist and wants to work at Seaworld so she'll probably join me. I'm going to suggest a professional internship with Disney in their science department at Epcot for her. Then I just have to get my mom to move and our whole family can be there!

Maybe your sister and I will work together in the future! I'm studying biology with an emphasis on mammals but it's basically zoology I wanna move to Florida after I graduate haha.

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

Yeah, I'm the same way. I keep bugging my parents that they should move down too. Only thing is, I don't think they will ever move to FL. Myrtle Beach perhaps (we have family there), but not FL.

My mom loves CA but i'm trying to lure her away somehow. The cost of living is like half as much as there's Disney so I may be able to talk her into it

That's awesome! There's some really awesome interships that I would totally do if that was my major.

To the people who have done the CP before - do you find that you gain weight, lose it, or stay the same? For some reason I always gain like 5lbs while I vacation there but I blame all the delicious food. This is my first time on my own pretty much and I know that money will be tight so I'd have to travel the cheaper route food-wise.

For me, I have always lost some weight. I feel it's because of all the walking (plus the heat).

That would be great if I lost weight! Another plus of going to Disney!

I've been begging my parents to move to Florida my whole life, no exaggeration. My grandparents are winter birds, and live in Florida in the winter, and everytime we go there and stay with them, I'm just so much happier. My parents have thought about it, but my dad owns a company, and due to the different laws in Florida, his company would be pointless there. But they'll be retiring there I'm sure, just like so many other New Yorkers

As for me... I'd love to move to Florida. I'm transferring schools next year, and would love to stay in the area after my DCP...

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

Well, hopefully this is the week!

 

[Joanna71985]

Well, hopefully this is the week!

I sure hope so!

 

[Seewhatimesdone]

I sure hope so!

I have a feeling that it will be good news, even after all these mix ups

Cool you're on Long Island too!

I like NY a lot. Long Island is somewhere where I think I've taken for granted all these years. It's really a nice place to live. However, I definitely would like to live in Florida. My grandparents live in Florida as well, only about 5 minutes from Disney. I love to visit them as well.

But wow, so cool that we have so much in common.

For attractions, do they usually cross train you for another place or do you usually just stay at the one?

It depends on where you are. On my CP I was only trained at Everest. We could sign up to be cross-trained, but it went by seniority, which included full timers and part-timers before CPs. So by the time they would have gotten to us to cross-train, we were done our programs already.

Ok so I have a question. I didn't hear back about CP yet, but I heard they got my Campus Rep application. I emailed them back saying I had applied for both, but wouldn't want to participate in the Spring 09 CP (I want to focus on graduating in another 3-4 semesters) if I got chosen and that I'd rather try again near my graduation, so I said I'd prefer Campus Rep if I was chosen for that. Was that okay to do?

 

[K_Timon]

Does anyone know an average response time from recruiting? I emailed on Friday morning about my application as it has been 4 weeks and I haven't heard anything besides the initial email (four weeks ago) from my recruiter. I'm a little worried because I haven't heard anything in response to my email.

Thanks and congrats to everybody that is already accepted!

I don't see a problem with that.

It has varied so much this semester. Some people have found out in 2 weeks (or less), some people found out in 5-6 weeks, and some people are still waiting (for over 2 months). Usually the average is about 3 weeks.

Also, I was wondering about the average response time in terms of email questions.

In my opinion, it varies by the recruiter. But they usually are pretty good at responding pretty quickly.

Does anyone know how much it cost to do laundry at the CP apartments?

It is $1 to wash, and $1 to dry.

You buy a laundry card for $5 (the card costs $2) and it leaves $3 on it. Then you can add more money whenever you want to do the laundry.

That's a bummer that there's no washers in the room. At least it's cheap!
