Johnson & Wales University - Providence

I have been a student for the past three years and I have really enjoyed the experience, even as a commuter student. I think that for students who don't do well on standardized tests, this University opens doors for those individuals. I consider myself to be of average intelligence and I have excelled here with hard work. People bashing this University obviously need to have their hand held still and be spoon fed material. You can easily go out of your way to make material more enriching by simply picking up a magazine subscription relevant to your major. If your a business major, start reading the Wall Street Journal. There are many ways that YOU can accelerate your education. I capitalized you because you and only you can determine what you'll get out of your education; wherever you go. So just have that understanding in mind before attending Johnson and Wales. There is a lot of freedom, and frankly, some students are not mature enough to handle the responsibility. If you are someone with average intelligence and also have a hear to learn and to better yourself, Johnson and Wales University is a great school. All the best with your decision making process.

Awesome University. The Finance program here is fantastic and I came here because I believed the Finance program is the best of all the local colleges and universities. The curriculum integrates the new Finance Trading Lab which give you hands on experience and the professors work in the industry they teach and have a ton of contacts. I feel that I have recieved a great education and the university is located right in providence, where there are a ton of things to do around campus. The other students are great and very friendly. With the open enrollment, there are some students who either just don't get it or are just plain lazy, but, the professors do make you work here and those students eventually get weeded out after freshman year. Once you get to your sophmore year, all that remains are the truly dedicated students looking to get a good education. Great University. I'm glad I came here.
