SCPS: Hospitality Stuff

Hello everybody, I’ve been accepted to SCPS for hospitality/tourism this fall and I’m really excited to go. I have a couple of questions though (I tried combing all the threads to satisfy them, so forgive me for repeats):

Personally I love doing internships and being on the jobsite, do freshman get good internships? (do they get interships, period?) And by that I mean that the internship experience was informative and pertinent towards the major.

I’m just coming in as a freshman this year, but my parents are already riding me about job placement. Are there good hookups in SCPS with the industry and does the school continue to help you out even after you graduate? (with jobs and other assorted opportunities?)

How does the curriculum balance out? For example I heard that UNLV’s program for hospitality is very strong in a practical sense while Cornell’s program for hospitality is stronger in conceptual learning. Where does SCPS fall into?

I’m really hoping to study abroad during my time at NYU. I just wanted to know if anyone familiar with the hospitality program would share there experiences with me? Just like how everything works and stuff and how working at a foreign hotel compares.

And lastly, although this is not really just a SCPS question, when are the health forms supposed to arrive? I checked the site, but it doesn’t give a date. It does say to shoot them an e-mail if you didn’t get it, but when are you SUPPOSED to get it by?

Thanks to everything one read/skimmed my questions. Hope you guys can help me out.
