Marisa

I brag about how we never have class on Fridays. I also brag about the fact that we have amazing food in our dining halls, considering we are primarily filled with culinary students, they cook up some amazing food. I also brag about the location of my college. Providence is a beautiful little city filled with opportunity and dreams. You can do anything you put your mind to, and if Providence isn't the place for you, it sure is a stepping stone. Back to the culinary aspect, I brag that Emeril went to Johnson & Wales, always an awesome fact.

Jaryn

I always brag about the people and how cool the professors and chefs are. I also brag about how many food options we have on and off of campus and that we have a starbucks.

Aniya

The social life at Johnson and Wales providence campus is amazing because there is so much to do at all times. Talent shows, Greek life parties, skits, and many other oppurtunitues to meet your fellow university mates. Also providence is the one campus out of all 4 JWU campuses that have been licensed to serve the underage students alcohol in class for wine tasting, I think this affects students who want to attend JWU for culinary majors becuase you get to experience wine pairing which is a very unique opportunity that you'd have to pay for anywhere else.

What I tell my friends about JWU is the professors. The professors are down to earth, have a lot of experience in the business world and are preparing us for the "real world" when we graduate. They don't teach us only what is in the textbooks, but what they have learned from their own experiences in the business world. It is these stories that I will remember when the time comes for me to open my own business.

Sadi-Ann

The one thing i find myself to brag about Johnson and Wlaes University is the simple fact that my school goes on a trimeter bases. I feel as if thats the best way to because your are so much more focused on your studies, because there is no time to slip up because there is only eleven weeks in each tri, so with that said if you may fail a test its very hard to caught back up and have a good grade. So with trimesters your always aiming for the best there is no time to waste .

Jillian

I usually tell them how nice the campus is. The class rooms are technically enhanced. They all have computers and projectors that are fast and always work. I love the campus set up because it is in the city and you walk to different buildings along different roads. I love the professors because they share advice to their students about how to get us jobs and what we need to do to get the position. The professors will go out of their way to help you or let you know when your doing an amazing job.
