If you reach this stage is that your application to the hotel school was accepted. Congratulations! Now you can begin your preparations for the autumn.
EHL is relatively specific in many areas, some areas to consider with care:
- Laptop .
school trying to be the most modern (times per sync Outlook Calendar, email communication, ongoing support network online, etc..) you will be absolutely essential to have a notebook to track progress. To this end, you can bring your own laptop or buy a discount through the EHL.
If you choose the first option, make sure that your machine is sufficiently light and compact to be transported every day, silent so as not to disturb other students during class, powerful serve you at your leisure (it is always nice to watch a short DVD on the evening before bedtime) and recent to be able to run the system explotation required by the school (see the current requirements with the IT department).
If you take the second option, you will spend a little money but you get a machine at a price much cheaper than the market (in my case, 30% cheaper), corresponding to the requirements of school student with a warranty (3 years, extendable to 5 years in general) and, especially, already preconfigured for the internal network (mailbox, access to hard drives to school, etc..).
- accommodation on campus. For
the first four years of study (freshman year), you can rent a double room on campus. Prices vary, but overall you will pay a little more expensive than in person. However, you will have the advantage of being in classrooms 2min (very advantageous when group projects are pulling you to the end of the night in a hard work), to benefit from a cleaning service of rooms and sheets once a week and live in the EHL community (having his classmates as next door neighbors is a rather new experience for most students).
However, the rooms being double, you will live in a small space with a / a roommate (girls and boys separated). This can be a very positive experience as somewhat negative, you see if you like living in a community. For my part, I do not regret having taken a room on campus!
- Parking .
If you own a car, you will be able to reserve a parking space around the school. Remember to take early because their number is limited. EHL has an underground car park and several outdoor places, more or less remote rooms class (maximum 5 minutes walk). The rental price varies according to the desired location.
- Clothing .
As the school imposes a dress code of 7:00 a.m. to 7:15 p.m., you will get enough outfits for rotation without spending your time at the launderette. In this connection, the school offers several washing machines use very modern thanks to a rechargeable magnetic card but does not provide board or iron. Therefore, you will equip you in your room to do your ironing (or go squat in your classmates better organized :-)). The preparatory year
including quite a lot of practice (ie you'll often be in uniform cooking or service), all you need about 3 suits and a dozen shirts for men and the equivalent in suits and dresses for women. Also expect at least a pair of black shoes, no frills, to wear with service dress.
Outside these hours, or just to wander among the rooms on campus, you can expect comfy type jogging / sweat pants or jeans / t-shirt. Remember to make clothes for sports (fitness and gym are available almost continuously) as well as clothes for clubbing.
Winters are relatively rigorous in the region, also plan to bring warm clothes (jackets, coats, sweatshirts, wool sweaters, caps, gloves, etc.)..
For the rest, use common sense and follow the instructions given to you in emails that you receive after confirming your bid. In any case, Switzerland is a civilized country (at least I hope), you can always purchase the missing equipment on site.
