Housing
The vision for our programs is that our residential students enjoy premier housing with luxury amenities located in amazing facilities near to where we actually want to be, period.
For our residential students, we are out to create an environment where all of these like-minded culinary students can have a blast. We call this program life-accelerated because of the pace and power of the program. We often see in the surveys that among their favorite things about camp is chilling in the dorm, ordering a pizza at 9:30 and watching shows and hanging out with each other. It is very natural, and we train our staff to include each and every student in the fun times.
campusATX
At campusATX, our students and staff are staying in a luxurious private university housing development serving high-end students just off the UT campus called Hardin House. They say: “Hardin House’s trademark is a reputation of performance. This is why people want to be a part of the privileged and talented group of residents who appreciate and enjoy the fruits of that philosophy.”
The property features numerous outdoor pools as well as social spaces, tv lounges, computer labs, gardens, patios, terraces and much more. It’s a lovely safe clean high-end and secure place in the middle of the action yet secluded and secure. We love it!
Being close to all the action, but behind the walls of the safe space of Hardin House is just perfect. If you know, you know. If you don’t, then come find out this summer!
