"I really like how we learned about food and beverage, hotel management, and events planning all together. You can't just focus on one because they all mix together in the end anyway. It's very beneficial to learn about food and beverage, even if you're going for hospitality management. For example, I was studying hotel and resort management but got an internship with events planning because I had a background in that industry too."
