Congrats on getting in. Yes, you made the right choice. The last that I checked, UNLV was the second best hotel management school in the country. The best is at some Ivy league school back east. Best of luck.

If you're wanting to major in hotel management, I couldn't think of a better choice for both school and city....
Good luck to you, keep up with yours studies!  |

15 units? Sounds a bit over ambitious of a plan. You will have no social life. Try for part time if you want to take so many classes. In due time you will be required to do an internship anyway. And somtimes that is unpaid.
Anyway.......congrads to you. |

I was thinking I would take 12 units, and work part time at one of the big hotels. This should give me free time? I still want to go out on the weekends.
