“If i could go to a bigger university,Quite BrightFinance
If i could go to a bigger university, only problem being the money, i would, like if some of the REALLY big named schools, such as harvard, yale, stanford, etc.. accepted me i would go, anyone would, anyway, i am looking forward to attending JWU in providence. You can't really follow these reviews on the school however. If you do read closely you'll pick up on the fact that those that did alot in the school, they had ambition, they did all that they could and really drove themselves, they loved it. On the other hand those who were basically looking for a 4 year party didnt really pay attention and in the end rated the school poorly. What you gotta do is explore the school for yourself and make your own decision. What you put into the college of your choice is what you're going to get out of it. Keep that in mind.
again i look forward to attending JWU.also, New England schools are Looked Up upon compared to alot of schools nation wide, although JWU is not harvard as i stated, the quality of education should be up there. also remember this if it helps you any.

“Honestly, I do not even know how toQuite BrightOther
Honestly, I do not even know how to being explaining the atrocity which is J&W.
This school has ruined my life. (well, I ruined my life by choosing to attend this school) 45,000 in the hole and only a AS in pastry arts to show for it.

Why I bought their line "lifetime job placement" during the initial tour, I will never know. Agh, and I was already a skilled cake decorator. I knew the job market and let reality escape me with J&W dreams/lies. THERE IS NO MONEY IN THIS FIELD, unless of course you want to spend every waking minute of the next thirty years devoted to pastry and cut throat business practices. Most of the jobs in this niche are low paying without benefits. So, for me, it's kinda hard to give my life to something that isn't going to pan out within a reasonable amount of time.
Remember people, you're 1 in a million. How many of these jobs are there really? ...take a hard look at our economy. With this fiscal knowledge you should stick with something safe (a broad major) especially when spending this type of money.
A career school should be more informative about what they are offering and where it will lead.
Ok back to J&W (providence) the campus is a dump, there's a very high crime rate locally, and they seem to let anyone in that can manage to obtain a loan.
I'm not even going to start with the student population, other reviews here already covered the mostly retarded body of students.(pff, and I love to party) but these assholes were ending up in the hospital every week.
NOT RECOMMENDED for the poor folk looking to earn a useful reasonably priced degree.
