Johnson & Wales University Providence Campus

I would not recommend Johnson and Wales. In my opinion the tuition costs were not justified in the training I received. My instructors were knowable in their fields, but did not convey that knowledge well in a classroom setting. In fact, one instructor informed our class that the burn out rate in the culinary field is very high and the rewards very low. He mentioned that he was much happier being an instructor rather than an active chef … not something I liked to hear when trying to enter the culinary profession. I feel I would have saved money and received more training by just working in a restaurant getting paid to learn my craft. I also found a lack of aid and resources finding a job. I now realize that having an expensive framed degree hanging on my wall was not worth what I paid. Live and learn I guess.

I Would not recommend! This school is money high priced and money crazy and not really ethnical friendly school. They don’t really treat everyone that equal unless your in culinary!! Then Marybeth Dempsey be holding students funds and sometimes writing wrong invoices to students so they can be charged extra.

I think it’s crazy that local guides can give reviews when they know nothing about the experience of actually going to the college. Johnson & Wales was the worst choice I ever could have made in a college, which is really sad knowing I chose this school in honor of my grandfather who went here, and passed away right before getting to see me go to college. Professors are the only good part of the school. All the other workers who work in the offices, the actual people who run the school as a whole - a literal joke. The entire school is a joke. Student loans? Not worth it. This is a school that does not care about its students like it portrays that it does. Do not waste your time, you can get a better education and a better college experience probably at any. other. school.

Johnson and Wales University is awesome. My time there was great and insightful. I was very involved. I was a RA and an Orientation Leader. Being able to interact with the students on the level was amazing. My professors were very helpful in my journey as well. I loved the school so much that I just had to apply to the Graduate Program. The Graduate Program has also been wonderful. I would recommend this school to everyone. I have already been doing so.

I decided to go back to school, after 20 years, for my second Master’s degree. I needed a school that provided flexibility for full time working professionals. In my job I travel 50% of the time, so on-line was my only option however I needed to attend a school that was “bricks and mortar”. Johnson and Wales University gave me this and more. I was so nervous because I was not familiar or ever experienced an on-line class. I'm a person who gets energy from people and from face to face interactions. I must say, I was surprised that I felt connected with my classmates and with my professors. I’m being supported and can really get to know the people in my class. I have six more classes to complete to receive my MBA and I am motivated to complete my degree by December of 2016. I feel I will be able to accomplish this because of the outstanding and supportive professors that help us achieve our goals. I highly recommend Johnson and Wales University, in particular the on-line campus.

As far as general education classes go, they are good. However, the professors in the computer science department are fantastic! They are all industry professionals who know what they are doing. They expect you to work, but are understanding and attentive when you need help. I truly feel that my hard work and dedication are rewarded here instead of being brushed aside. I can't speak for the Harborside classes as I have never taken them. But, the Downcity campus is lively, and serves as a beautiful backdrop for what is a great school.

Learning alot here. Our instructors are people with MANY years of experience. It's definitely hard work, but it's oh so worth it.
