Johnson and Wales is full of opportunities for its culinary students. The chefs are amazing and know what they're doing so you'll learn a lot. It's a small but prestigious culinary school.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure your major is really what you want to study. It's an expensive school. Also, pay attention to your chefs, they know a lot and you only have 9 days in labs so absorb as much as you can.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academically it's not too difficult, culinary labs is where it's difficult.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Freshman dorms suck. But once you get past that, it's not too bad. Plus, harborside and harborview dorms have a gorgeous view.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
It varies. But being on harborside, you get sick of pasta. There are plenty of options downtown or on harborview though.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Harborside is pretty quiet, but you can go to the mall downtown or go on a walk to Thayer Street. Thayer Street is famous for all the food activity.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's expensive, but you're learning more than at like Le Cordon Bleu or a community college.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
JWU does a really good job with this. They have JWU ride where you can call if you are stranded somewhere and need to get home. They'll pick you up. Downtown also has safewalk where they will escort you downtown so you don't have to by yourself when it's getting dark. Safety and security also does routine bike rides around campus at night.
