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.
