I would like to take this opportunity for expressing my sincere gratitude to the management & the faculty members of BHM department, Garden City College., without whose help, I would not be able to write this. I consider myself fortunate enough to have been placed in such a unique department, serving a unique role with one of the leading Hotel chains of the country. My dream and aspirations has been made possible by the collective efforts of team BHM, by inculcating the ethics, morals and values of a professional during my days in college. All the teachings, lessons and assignments that I have gone through have gradually helped me develop, sharpen & polish my skill-set to earn this rewarding job and has also contributed in recognizing me as a competent resource for the company. While on the same subject, I would like to throw some light on the high standards of grooming & personal development that is maintained in GCC and due to which I blended seamlessly into the white-collar industry. When I look back on all those days of hard work and pain, I can say with pride & honour, that they were totally worth it. I would be forever indebted to my alma mater and its wonderful team of faculty members for the many lessons and opportunities that were given to me.

When I studied Hotel Management at GCC, we were still under Bangalore University. I loved every minute of it. Today though, you enter the gates of Garden City University, it looks like a university that could easily stand up to any foreign university in the world today. Stunning greenery is everywhere you look and there is an enhanced air of academia. You see students who lead well-balanced lives between extracurricular activities and learning their curriculum. The progress of this university has been truly incredible. One thing that has not changed though is the commitment of the faculty to excellence, in both imparting their knowledge to the students as well as being there for them as people to support them in their lives. The faculty has always managed to strike a healthy balance between being lecturers and being fully approachable even outside class to hear out a student in need. Therefore, although hotel management is a difficult field to enter, with long work hours, and a physically and mentally demanding work environment, the students are prepared for the world they will enter into after graduating college, whichever path they choose, because the faculty have strengthened them and given them all the knowledge necessary for a successful career.I have made lifelong friends, from both the student body and faculty at GCC and I am proud to call Garden City College my alma mater.

I had a great experience with GCU. They helped to use “Real World” examples to help make the material not seem so cumbersome and to relate to how I can use it in my everyday occupation. I think the most valuable thing that I learned was the concepts behind what I was doing every day. I know that having the knowledge and the degree will help me to advance. My stay here has been accompanied by a wide array of opportunities to expand myself in extra-curricular activities. The staff is willing to assist with ease. I have also been aided to pursue a hotel management program with a very comfortable class size which allows best one on one interaction with lecturers who are very knowledgeable of what they are doing and teaching. “I felt welcomed and at ease from the first day I entered the college. The staff are some of the most amazing people I have met and I owe a great deal of my career to them. We were always encouraged to take part in various co-curricular activities and competitions, this not only helped in our holistic growth, but also helped us in building a network with other professionals and students. I would like to thank everyone at BHM department in GCU for their continued support and encouragement.
