Johnson & Wales University-Charlotte

every chef at this university has years of experience, know the ends ands outs of the business and can really give insight on any aspect of the culinary worldthey make sure in the time your in their labs that when you leave you will be able to go to any employer eady to do the job they ask of you

The chefs an professors at school are amazing. Everyday that I step into the classroom I learn things. All of the chefs that I have encountered have done everything that they could to help me learn. They will stay late or come early if you ask them to. My suggestion is if you are having problems with something don't be afraid to ask for help. The chefs and professors will do everything in their power to help you. Remember if you are going to school here you are paying big $$$$$, it's not worth it if you don't ask questions.

I never knew what a julienne knife cut was, or which oil is the best to saute with until I came here to Johnson & Wales University. I have learned so much and I only completed my first year there. The instructors and unbelievable. They work with you and never get frustrated with the amount of questions asked or how long it something as simple has making mashed potatoes is taking you. They are there for the students and the students only. It honestly is an amazing experience and I am so glad that I came here to this school.

Most of the professors are nice, and care about making sure that you do good in their classes. The class room size is a lot smaller than a regular public college, so you don't feel like just a number, and you have a better chance of getting help if you do not understand something.

I grew up in a small town with zero fine dining restaurants. One of my biggest worries was that I wouldn't fit in with other students here or that the chef instructors would expect me to know a lot already. I've had no experience in the industry, only in my kitchen. Thankfully, I was wrong about what to expect. The chef instructors are some of the most helpful people you'll ever meet, and you learn so many different things from each of them because they each have had their own individual experience in the industry. They expect you to work hard and do your best, but not to be perfect. And that's one reason why you learn so much at JWU.

As a freshman in college there is one each freshman must know and that is staying focus. This school offers many majors, but it focuses on culinary arts mainly. The professor are very professional and about business. They teach each student how to gain knowledge from their course. The teachers also interact with you and they know you personally.

I just came back from orientation and I am more impressed than ever!!

This school has a lot of Professors who have been published authors, important chefs, and people in the business industry who know what they are teaching you. Many teachers here will only teach you what you need to succeed, because in the end you are paying them for only that and not useless things you don't need to know or will never use.

The Baking & Pastry Arts program is awesome. The chefs are very knowledge in Baking & Pastry Arts and also in life lessons. They teach us not only applied baking skills, but also about the reward of baking and the passion you put into your profession. You can feel that the chefs are just as passionate as you are hopefully when going to school here at JWU - Charlotte. I couldnt ask for better chefs.

The academic classes are challenging Sophomore year. Be sure to do your best during placement testing at Orientation to be sure you don't have to take remedial classes, or you will definitely be bored (if you don't need them)
