Johnson & Wales University-Providence Top Questions

There is no off-campus housing close enough to school and I have to park for $8/day downtown to go to class.

The most frustrating thing about this school is the trimester system. While I enjoy it because it makes time go by much faster, it is not beneficial to students who want to transfer in or out of the school. This is because most other schools do not accept a lot of credits earned here because they are on a semester schedule.

The email system sometimes gets too full and doesn't empty itself and it makes you lose important emails.

There is not a lot of on campus parking, and it can be very hard to find parking downtown.

The faculty in the dorms are very unhelpful and rude. There are so many kids who do drugs and drink in and around the campus and are not punished because they are friends with the RA's.

Getting to class with traffic.

Financial aid is hard to contact sometimes.

It is frustrating that if a student tranfers, the credits earned at JWU will not follow them to the next school.

Sometimes the online system gets messed up and you may not be able to get onto UCONNECT to view holds or grades. It is always fixed though.
