College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[Sorahana]

As for shoes, wear COMFORTABLE flats. You will be walking a lot during traditions, and many of us girls had nasty blisters.

My Discovery Day at Epcot, I was allowed to wear sneakers (which my blisters thanked), so you could be lucky there. We still had to be in business wear, but there was a lot of walking during that day around Epcot, so sneakers were awesome to be able to wear

Oh Discovery Day , wearing flats like that is totally fine. I wouldn't wear heels when you're doing your actual park/location orientation because no matter where you're at you'll be walking quite a bit that day.

BedknobsandBroomstix, I have worked in Attractions twice (Expedition Everest and Test Track), you can send me a PM if you want to chat !

@Don - I'm 31, While I'm much older than most CPs, they are really accepting. My hang out, day off buddy turns 19 in a couple weeks.

thanks!

im confident that i will get along with 99% of the people i meet. im sort of like a chameleon. young or old, i can blend in very well in most situations and have a great time.

still very nervous about roommates though..........im certain that since im coming in after the bulk of the Fall students that i might be place in an appt that has people who are already established.

guess we'll see.

Hey everyone, i recently did my phone interview last friday, and im kind of worried if i will be accepted or not, when will i be notified that i have been accepted into the program, because I've gotten a couple different answers.

They try to place people who come at the same time into the same apartments. Those who have been in the program and extended are consolidated together so that there are empty apartments for new people.

Thank you so much!! Is there anyone else on the forum who is going to be working attractions in the spring 2011 session, or who has worked attractions in the past that can tell me what I can expect?

I am currently in attractions, at the Great Movie Ride. It is a lot of fun. There is a lot of guest interaction, and as you move around a lot (there are a lot of positions), I find you don't get bored.

do the balconies at chatham come with any furniture on them?

Did you ask for GMR or was it just a lucky day for you?

Unless the people in the apartment before you got furniture for the porch and it was left there, then no they do not come with furniture.

I know I read somewhere that there were opportunities for Criminal Justice majors but when I look I can't seem to find them anywhere. Can someone tell me if there are opportunities for my major and if there are where do I look for them? I would to take a semester and do this!

 

[Joanna71985]

I requested GMR. I had requested it for Fall 2009, and didn't get it. So I tried again when I extended my CP, and got lucky and got placed there for Spring 2010 (and I've been at GMR ever since).

Hello everyone,

I am in the college program starting in january, I was just wondering where and how you put in requests for housing as well as work locations?

You can request a complex when you actually arrive at Vista Way on your check-in day. If you'd like to request a work location (not guaranteed), you would email your recruiter or the person who interviewed you for the program.

I have a question.

I finish my BS in Hospitality Management in March and with a chaotic life right now am not going to apply for the CP.

However, I plan on starting grad school (date to be determined) at some point. Does the CP accept students who are in grad school?

Thanks

Most people wait about two weeks, could be sooner, could be later.
Wish I had a magic number or date to tell ya, I know how hard it is to wait.... We've all been there

I'm sure it will work out
