Johnson & Wales University-Providence Top Questions

that is you dont pay tuition they erase your schedule

I think it is the split campus' I wish we could just expand on the harborside rather than having business and fashion majors downcity. However that being said we all come together for alot of events and it is nice to have a bus that can bring you downcity to eat or go to the mall.

sometimes not being told information. its fustrating to have to ask 10 different people to just find out what i think goings on.

The worst thing about my school is that when it rains it smells because we are by the harbor, other than that it's fantastic.

Limited meal plan options becasue it is one of the best culinary schools in the country but the meal plan is poorly put together

The dorms are the worst thing about the school, because most of the rooms are shared by four people and there is no air conditioning.

The pressure being put on us by each chef. However, I do believe if that pressure was never put on us there is a possibility that most of us might not succeed as well as we do.

The dinning facilities. Considering the fact that culinary is one of the most popular majors at my school i would expect the dinning on the culinary site to be much better. We had limited options on our site, essentiatially our option were pizza, four differnt pastas, and three different calzones.

The worst thing about my school is the two hour class periods. It's hard for kids to focus and stay interested the entire way through.

The worst thing that I would consider about my school is the food that we have in the cafeteria. It's kind of bad that I go to a culinary arts school and the food that students are servered is disgusting. I would have thought that it would be the best thing that I have ever tasted in my life, but boy was I wrong when I came to school last year.

I believe it would be the cost, as with any school. I don't think any school should be as expensive as they are, Students today in this world need to have an education after High School and it should be attainable to any student that wishes to go to school and not be in debt when they graduate.

the guest policy

It is hard for commuter students to make many friends most the students live on campus so they see each other often and become fast friends. I myself am a transfer and a commuter so its a different experience then those who live there and who have always gone there, There is also the fact that Johnson and Wales does tri-mesters instead so semester though it is nice to get done with class faster the breaks are always different from all the other schools and its alot of information in a short amount of time.

Nothing I love My School

In my opinion the worst thing about Johnson and Wales University is that while there are a wide number of majors and concentrations available, if you take a concentration and decide that you rather make that your major you do not always have that option. For example psychology, there is a concentration offered, but not a major. If you were attending Johnson and Wales and started taking a series of psychology classes and wanted to change your major you would have to transfer, but leaving Johnson and Wales is not something anyone would want to do.

The worst thing about my is that there aren't enough hands-on activities. I feel class would be much more interesting if we had more activities such as in-class experiments, working with tools and devices used in that area of study. I believe schools as a whole would benefit from activities such as these and student interest would peak also.

The worst thing about my school is the tuition price because its too expensive. Not all of us can afford it.

The worst thing about Johnson adn Wales is that the school is not as real life practical as I think they should be. Their goal is to make everyone above the professional standards of everyone else, so that their students look the best. But, it is to the point where they are sacrificing quality of work for it.

I honestly can't think of something wrong with my school. I mean of course all schools have their flaws, but that's any and everywhere. I guess the dorms could be alot nicer, especially for the cost, and the food in the dining halls could be better, but those are minor issues.

Students care more about partying than particpating in class work. We do a lot of work in teams and it's difficult to find a team that doesn't put a majority of the work on you.

I dont like how easy it is to get into the school

AT THIS TIME I CANT THINK OF A THING I LOVE MY SCHOOL AND MY CHEFS! I GET THE HELP I NEED AND THE ANSWERS I NEED YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK .

They say that they are career focused and that they have a great job placement record, but when I said I couldn't find work related to my field, I didn't get a lot of help and now I am working at a job completely unrelated to my undergrad degree. No to mention, I am very underpaid for what I assumed a college grad would be paid.

The dining hall food. :-(

The food. Not only the quality and variety or lack there of but also the inflexibility of the food plan.

The one thing that bothers me is that a lot of students end up in a great deal of debt once gradutation comes around. The curriculum is worth the price depending on your major but it also hard for students that dont have that much money to afford to go this school even for the first two years.

The worst thing about Johnson & Wales is the strong left-wing views. It is ok to have an opinion but not to the extreme the professors take. I thought my United States political government class was being taught by Karl Marx.

The worst thing would be how the campuses are so spread out from each other.

They don't give enough credit to the technology part of my school. Our biggest majors are culinary and business, but there's so much more.

I consider the cost of my school a major importance. if you do not receive financial aid then your loans can be high.

Greek life is only 3 {4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the population. I am greek and we are not really known on campus, but we contribute a lot.

The financial aid...they need to provide more financial aid.

The city has limited or no parking so commutting is nearly impossiable unless you walk. also believe that it is really expensive but what isn't . i wish the attendance policy (only 2 day off for normal class 1 for a lab) was not as strict either but it keeps us in line.

I would consider the worst thing about JWU to be, the management of the money. Tuition isn't on a Ivy League scale but it isn't cheap either and I think they could use it better than they do. We have more office space than we do dorms or classrooms and parking is a major issue. They are constantly trying to by more property which in my mind is more costly than rennovating what they already have.

The worst thing about Johnson & Wales University is that there is no school spirit or anything that brings the students together. We are not like an LSU or some SEC school that has a common cause like a dedicated football team. Students here do not get involved socially enough.

The uniforms, attendance standards, and all the crazy fire-codes that the residence halls have to abide by. We can't have anything on our doors even!

Thw worst thing about my school is the cost of tuition. Currently, this is the second loan I had to take out in my name just so I could attend school. And if the school does not get the money on the exact day it is due, your class schedule is erased and you are no longer enrolled at the University. The school should do a better job with school costs especially for those who are struggling to succeed in today's society.

Housing. Housing is not guarunteed for upper classmen, so it was difficult to find housing due to the fact I cannot afford an appartment.

Every other major is overshadowed by the culinary program, and is often forgotten.

There are not alot of sports
