Here at Johnson & Wales, you're learning stuff that you're actually going to be using in your industry. You get frist hand experience and the teaching staff is amazing. I've heard that some of the professors are a little difficult to work with, but I haven't had any bad experiences with any of mine so far. Either way, these professors know what they're doing, and no matter what the experience, you're going to come out knowing a lot more than what you came in with.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I'm not going to lie, the campus life is a little slow, and sometimes feels like high school because it's so small. But I assure you that, you'll learn and gain more from a smaller class setting. Even though campus life is slow, my friends and I still find ways to have fun and enjoy the Miami weather.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Johnson & Wales is extremely expensive, and tuition goes up a little over $1,000 each year, but a majority of the money is returned to the students in the form of scholarships. Although it's expensive, it's worth it. Not too long ago, my retailing class had the opportunity to tour Perry Ellis International's Florida head quarters, as freshmen.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1. Stay active: Join clubs and organizations. Build relationships with the friends, staff, professors, and any other person that you may come across. Networking is extremely important. Joining clubs/organizations help put you in the right position to establish those relationships.
2. Professional dress: Not too many people are aware of the dress code policy before they come to Johson & Wales. This university has a professional dress policy enforced, but it's extremely helpful because we often have business executives visit the school and it's better to introduce yourself to the CEO of Sports Illustrated wearing a suit and tie, than to be wearing your Spiderman pajamas and monster feet slippers.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for business and culinary students serious about becoming and achieving more than what they've ever expected.
