Johnson & Wales University-Providence Top Questions

There's no real campus, city building, no greek housing, etc.

The most frustrating thing about my school, is that there isn't enough time. Especially for new students who are interested in the food industry, but actually never held a proper chef's knife like myself. I was thrown in a class where I had struggled the first segment (out of 5) because I was unfamilar with the terms and the proper cuts. I stayed for extra help and took extra classes to try to work on my cuts, but they were still not perfect. It was a little discouraging, but I had to continue to practice to be better.

The distractions. There are so many beautiful women and places to go.

Sometimes there are moments where the authority figures will be a lenient and other times they will over enforce the rules. Another thing is that in some of the dorm rooms there are four students. That would not be a problem if there was enough space for everybody. At times you will find yourself clashing with your roommates over the space.

The campus is spread out in a city

The area is a little rough

sometimes not being told about important events occuring with scheduling.

There is, honestly, not one thing that I find frustrating about my school. They strive to make all of their students happy and content and do so by accomodating them as much as possible. All of the professors and chefs that I have worked with so far have been amazing, to say the least. All of the classes I have taken have not had more than 20-30 students at a time, whichs makes the learning experience so much easier and the relationship with my professors and chefs so much closer.

All major projects are due in the same week of the term and all tests are usually within a few days of one another.

The most frustrating thing about JWU is the food served in the dining facilities on campus (ironic, no?). At the beginning and the end of the school year, the food is great, but it the middle of the year, it's sub-par.
