Hi hello! If you’ve just joined a Bachelor of Hotel Management course, welcome to the buffet of chaos, caffeine, and class presentations.
BHM college life is like a perfectly layered biryani—intense, spicy, occasionally burnt at the bottom, but ultimately satisfying. Whether you’re dreaming of Michelin stars or just trying to not trip carrying three plates, you’re in for a ride with extra garnish.
“College is the only place where you learn how to fold a napkin and your life… at the same time.”
🍽️ From Uniforms to University Blues
Day one of college and you’re already Googling how to tie a cravat. While your engineering friends are roaming in hoodies, you’re ironing your shirt with military precision and checking if your shoes shine bright enough to signal planes.
Your identity quickly becomes:
- Roll Number: Always last to be called
- Course: BHM
- Nickname: Chef Junior (until you mess up a recipe)
🍳 Classrooms with Cutting Boards
No offence to other degrees, but your “classroom” might have stoves, knives, and pressure cookers. You’ll attend lectures on kitchen hygiene right before scrubbing real kitchens. It’s a syllabus with spice—literally.
Theory class? Learn the types of soups.
Practical? Cry while chopping 2 kilos of onions.
Your lab partner is either a culinary genius or the reason the fire alarm went off. There’s no in-between.
🎒 Assignments & Attendance = The Two Boss Levels
While others are bunking lectures to sip chai outside, BHM students are prepping event plans or filing reports on guest complaints that feel… oddly personal.
Bonus twist: You can’t afford attendance shortfall—unless you want your internship letter turned into a “maybe next year” note.
🛏️ Hostels & Housekeeping
If you’re in a hostel, it’s a whole parallel universe. You clean five-star rooms during class and come home to a roommate who thinks using the same bedsheet all semester is eco-friendly.
Still, hostel life gives you:
- Sleepless nights before practical exams
- Emergency Maggi parties
- And lifelong friendships that survive your worst biryani
🔥 Internships: Real-World Pressure Cookers
At some point, you’ll be sent off for internship like a freshly prepped dish sent to the table. Real hotels. Real guests. Real confusion. You’ll deal with buffet chaos, wake-up calls at 4 AM, and your first existential crisis over folding napkins wrong.
Good news: It toughens you up. Bad news: You’ll never enjoy “hotel breakfast” the same way again.
🤹♀️ Balancing Life Like a Buffet Plate
BHM students don’t just juggle kitchen knives. You juggle everything—assignments, placements, college fests, and somehow, friendships too. Social life exists, but mostly between practicals and laundry day.
Yet there’s joy in:
- Planning theme dinners like it’s the Met Gala
- Participating in food festivals with serious pride
- Getting compliments for coffee that doesn’t taste like burnt regrets
📢 The College Festival Scene
You may not be on stage dancing, but you will be backstage managing catering, table setups, or yelling “table 7 needs more sandwiches!” You’ll learn event execution better than the event coordinators. That’s your superpower.
🧠 Lessons That Go Beyond the Syllabus
- Time Management: Mastered between slicing veggies and submitting assignments
- People Management: From cranky classmates to fussy faculty
- Composure: Even when your dish is a disaster, your face must say “It’s meant to be deconstructed.”
🎯 Wrapping Up: A Degree That Serves Life Skills Hot
Doing BHM isn’t just about hotels. It’s about discipline, creativity, and knowing how to stay calm when the microwave explodes. College life here is equal parts exhausting and exhilarating. It’ll test your patience, sharpen your skills, and prep you for anything—from banquet halls to boardrooms.
“You enter as a student, but you graduate as a crisis-handling, multitasking machine… who also knows how to flambé.”
