3 Students rated Kendall College

Candice - 11/19/2019

I attended Kendall college for 3 years in the Hospitality Management program. I am now looking to return to the school to complete my degree. The education and skills that I received from Kendall College has helped me evolve in the hotel industry. All classes are hands on and you learn a lot in the 10 week courses. I love Kendall College. The only dislike I have is that the tuition is very expensive.

Khatera - 04/07/2019

My overall opinion on Kendall College is it's a great school. The academics and culinary programs are great. They have excellent resources and the financial aid department is very helpful. I started at Kendall College in July of 2018 and since then I have enjoyed all my classes.

Lindsey - 04/11/2018

I attended Kendall for a year and a half, I enjoyed the campus. Its a very industrial building on a small but beautiful campus. The class sizes are so small because many students realized the majors were not for them. The culinary teachers are extremely tough but very knowledgeable. General education teachers were a toss up. I enjoyed my time there and only left because I wanted to change my major. The tuition is expensive and they were recently bought by another university.

Kendall College FAQS

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Kendall College is 83%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I was talking to my high school self, I would have more to tell myself than will fit in this little white box. I would tell myself all about how college life is just different than school before college. Similar to how being married is different than being a single man, being a college student gives me a lot of freedom. I am allowed to go wherever I want in my free time, and if I don't choose to study, I will only learn my lesson through consequences. In high school, you are allowed to participate in extra-curricular activities after school. In college, those activities are still available on a larger scale. College students are adults and do not need permission for anything. They also want to be in college, and at that specific college, which makes a big difference from high school, where you are told which school to attend. On the subject of choosing your college, that means you chose what you want to major in, and because of that you will probably naturally do well in college. College also entitles a lot of real world friends, that last for life.
