Katelyn

What's unique is the fact that even though the school has many different majors they still manage to focus on them equally. A well as they have a small student: teacher ratio which is important for me to have. Also, there is many ways to get involved at the school that doesn't involve sports mostly.

KElsey

At Johnson & Wales there is always someone around, you are never alone and always welcomed with open arms. You will find that even if you did not know a person that morning by ten pm your friends. Its a very friendly and inviting enviroment in which upperclassmen are always helping others to adjust to the new lifestyle that approaches them within the next year.

Kristen

The culinary program is definitely the most unique part about Johnson & Wales. The program is growing and the new building that holds classes is extremely accomodating and well worth the money. The availability of other majors other than culinary attract more than just a culinary crowd which makes Johnson & Wales a well rounded University. The international program here creates diversity among the campus and exposes other students to different cultures and people of different races.

My school is one of the top culinary schools in America. This culinary school gives you the full college experience, along with amazing knowledge about culinary arts. This school provides regular academic classes, along with the hot and cold labs that provide you with all the information that you need to know about the culinary arts industry.

Night classes, many buildings, good location.

Alicia

city atmosphere.

Jarrett

Johnson & Wales University compared to Hudson County Community College is a HUGE difference. While HCCC is right around the corner, JWU is farther away from home. It's campus makes you feel welcome and gives you a sense of happiness. When I first step foot on JWU's campus, I was excited and happy. Did not want to leave at all. I'm not saying HCCC is a bad school but JWU gives me more opportunities in the culinary field.

Diana

This school is remarkable because it simmulates a real workplace for the students to gain experience in. Incoming freshman begin taking classes immediately regarding their majors and really get a feel for their career paths. The school also offers trimesters (3 terms instead of 2) that enable the students to take more classes and experience more in one year.

Adam

My school is unique because while learning we gain certifications that will be advantageous in the work industry. The student body is also incredibly diverse, and on a daily basis you hear an assortment of accents and dialects. Every instructor brings something exciting to the table, whether they are teaching an English Composition class or a Traditional European culinary lab.

Tayla

My school is unique compared to the other schools I applied to because its right in the middle of a city. All of the other schools I applied to were located in the woods. I like being surronded by people and buildings rather than animals. Its a great experience to network also because there are great companys in the area that are mostly walking distance from our dorm buildings.

Maura

My school is unique because we start with our major, instead of academic classes.

Christopher

Johnson and Wales University strives to provide the education for young individuals to learn the inside and out of the Culinary Arts industry. The degree program set up by the school allows for students to receieve full degrees insted of a certificate in Culinary Arts. Life at Johnson and Wales is different than other schools i've applied to because the students in your program form a community. The culinary campus is seperated from the rest of the school . This allows for great support and academic strengthening.

Jacob

Johnson and Wales provides an excellent evironment for educating and providing all students with the necessary outlook and vision needed to serve, manage and operate a hospitality industry focused business.

Sheila

Johnson & Wales is well respected in my industry, EquineStudies. They are very career focused and have many opportunities to study abroad, co-op or go on externship. Most of our teachers were very sucessful in their industry, and they want you to advance.

Matthew

My school is one of the only 4-year universities that allows students to major in culinary arts and pastry arts, so they offer the rare oppurtunity for a student to learn what they are truly interested in without foregoing the great college experience they should have.

Rachel

Medical Careers Institute in Richmond Virginia is very unique to me because they work around my schedule with the classes and work. I also love the fact that the Registered Nurses program is only fifteen months long and by the end of the fifteen months you come out with your RN. Its a very small school which is a plus because the teacher can interact with the students one on one, so the students can come out with the best medical knowledge and at the fastest rate.

Bridgette

Every thing is unique adout my school. The professers, teachers, coaches, counselers, dn etc. are great. I have learned so much for the one trimester I was there. One of the most unique qualities that my college has is, they have hands on learning. I like the diversirty between classes and and labs (hands on learning class). In one trimester I had two oppurtnities to certify in degree programs.

Melany

JWU is an accredited culinary school. Its the only school around RI that i should i go to for culinary arts.

We only have school 4 days a week and are not sport-oriented, however, we have a sailing team that beat the Navy in competition : )

It has career based programs that other schools don't. It is an upside down curriculum so you get to take classes from your major as soon as you enter the school.

Natasha

the school's reputation.

Colleen

It's extremely career-driven and only requires a small amount of gen. ed. courses unlike other schools that require more of the material you don't need/want. It's a city campus.

Tawnya

You declare your major before you enter as a freshman, so the first trimester of classes you take are geared toward your major. Pre-reqs are spread throughout the classes that actual interest you so the first two years aren't boring.

It is career oriented. The school wants to see you suceed, in your chosen field. It is also a non profit school so all the tution goes right back into the school.

Kimberly

There are so many different sprts, clubs and activities for students to be involved in. I ahve gone to two other colleges they were not as focused on exposes students to activities that will benefit students in the future. Most of the professors at this school are willing to help you if you are having a hard time evenif it is on their own time. The culinary professors all have passion about teaching and their students careers.

At orientation you can stay over for the weekend and eat dinner with actual professors. I thought this was a great to of getting to know someone who I can already go to for help.

Nick

This school compared to other schools, classroom size is a maximum of forty students if your on the downtown campus. When your on the harborside campus and working in the kitchen the chefs there are hands on with the students and have a small enough student base maximum of twenty students so they can get a chance to work with each student.

naija

Everything is unique about my school from classes to just hanging with the friends for activites .

Shyleen

It's one of the only schools around that let's me take my major. They offer classes and labs that no other school does. They open you eyes to new experiences, and they are very in touchwith 'the industry'. Even the teachers have all worked in the field, and they bring that experience to the table.
