Johnson & Wales University-Providence Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend this school?

Kristen

There isn't a particular type of person that shouldnt go here, per-say. The only people that would come to mind would be unenthusiastic people with little motivation because without motivation and enthusiasm it would be hard to go to class and work towards their degrees. This school offers a lot to students and is growing every year with new programs.

Michele

The people that shouldn't attend Johnson & Wales university are the people that can not commit to what they really want to pursue. They really want to go there for something they really love most. They should be a mature adult knowing what is to come from JWU.

Alia

I would recommend Johnson and Wales University to any student!

Marisa

The type of person who shouldn't attend Johnson & Wales is a person who wants to party their trimesters away. JWU is very serious about maintaining a 3.0 GPA, and if you are more concerned with partying you will surely get behind in your studies and fail out. JWU can be pretty leinient but they know when students aren't trying and just partying away. Since JWU is a dry campus, if you have intentions of drinking like crazy you may want to reconsider. You only get 3 strikes and depending on the circumstance, you may only get one.

Bridget

A shy, withdrawn person who dislikes cities.

Kaylin

A person who is academicly driven but also wants to be able to enjoy the college experience and have a little fun. The best of both worlds type thing.

Tyler

A person who should not attend Johnson and Wales University is someone looking for a party school and who is not serious about their future and/or what they would like to do in life.

Yazmyn

If you do not plan on striving for the best you can do, this school is not really for you. At Johnson & Wales, it is not about doing THE best, but rather, doing YOUR best. Professors and Chefs watch you to see what potential you may possess and if you are not striving to reach your full potential, the professors and chefs will absolutely see that.

Marianne

Johnson and Wales is not a school for a person who is not motivated and ambitious. The trimester schedule passes quickly and requires self-discipline to keep up with the assignments. In addition, anyone who is not interested in attending a widely diverse campus in an exciting city should not attend. JWU is made up of people from many cultures and is located in a city where there is a wide variety of activities.

Sara

People who are unmotivated, unsure of what they really want, and are not willing to participate in class and become imvolved in new things. You need know that this is what you want before you waste yours and your chefs time. They donate multiple hours teaching us the ins and outs of cooking and the least we can do it try our hardest to succeed in everything we do.

Jennifer

You should not attend if you're not serious about being a culinary student and your only interested in putting in the most minimal time necessary to graduate. Attending a culinary school means you have to be prepared for a different experience. There are strict rules designed to keep sanitation and to keep everyone safe. Not only are you to do a good job for yourself, but you also have to lend a hand to your fellow classmates. It's very important that everyone works as a team and if you can't do that, then please dont come.

Carolyn

At this school, student comiing to eat and party should just stay home. There is time to have a good time but the attendence and behavior policies are strict and if nto followed you may find you are wasting time and money because you could be kicked out or have to re-take multiple classes.

Sara

This school is for any kind of people.

Amber

The type of person who should attend is a person that is very focused and knows what they want to do. The majors at this school are very specific and most students know exactly what they want to do when they graduate. They should also be willing to attend class everyday, the school has a very strict policy that does not allow more than 2 cuts for each class. The person must be motivated, know what they want and must like the city setting of the campus.

People who dont like living a small state, Who cannot handle tough chefs who take no games. People not focused of their future. People who dont like having fun and hate cooking. People who cannot handle extreme winters and finally people who dont like water because this school is harborside. Easly stressed out individuals.

Jon

i think everyone should come to this school no matter if your a geek, jock, nerd, gay, white, or black.

Deirdre

Anyone who doesn't like the city should not attend this school. Even though Providence is not that big of a city, it is only getting larger and any students who are looking for a traditional campus, will not find it at Johnson & Wales. In a way, the building at the school are just like other buildings in the city, which I personally believe makes the University unique. The many different historic areas of the old city and college areas allow for new students to explore Providence and feel comfortable.
