Review of Johnson & Wales University-Providence

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

All of the classes I am taking I have been learning a ton! I was a little shocked at first by all the things that were being thrown at me, but I am getting used to it. All the professors are really understanding and they will help you pass. They want everyone in their class to do good and to get good grades so they can get a job. The classes are small so they teachers will know who you are which is always a good thing. I am learning more than I think I would at any other school because I am starting classes right from my major in freshman year, rather than other colleges you don't start classes from your major till junior year.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I LOVE IT HERE! It is such a good environment. Everyone is really nice and helpful. Plus the downcity campus is right in the city so you can walk anywhere you really need to, you don't have to worry about taking a bus everywhere when you can just walk there. The Harborside is also very nice and the food at all the dining halls is delicious. There are alot of options for food and you can also swipe at City Burger and Starbucks with your ID card which is also good. All the companies around the college to will also give you a discount if you show them your student ID card. Plus there are no classes on Fridays!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

This is definitely a bang for the buck. You can choose from 8 resident halls to live in, you can chose resident halls if you want your own private bathroom, there are many dining halls here to chose from that have all different types of food, all the companies give out student discounts, there are two gyms, no classes on Friday, and you can ride the RIPTA bus system for free.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure you stay caught up on your work and you will do fine.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who know what they want to do and are looking for a career college. This college sets you up with internships starting sophomore year so you can start your career.
