What do you consider the worst thing about Johnson & Wales University-Providence? Why?

Matthew

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.

Christian

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.

Curtis

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.

Omar

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!

Earl

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.

Ashley

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

Spencer

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