Johnson and Wales University-Providence

Pros: Easy Acceptance Policy, Help with Finding a Job
Cons: Conformity, Lack of the "truth" about the food service field

I took an AA in Culinary Arts from them in '96. The school will give you the BASIC education needed to break into the foodservice field. If you think you will come out being the executive chef right after graduation, don't delude yourself anymore. You...

Pros: great food
Cons: none

Well it have been a long time since I went to college, I am sure so much has changed since then and I am not even sure my epinion would be up to date but I am going to write what I remember about Johnson and Whales.
When I attended J&W it was a...

Pros: Number 1 Culinary school in the country!

Pros: Great School!
Cons: Far from home

Wow, how suprised was I too see this here. Johnson and Wales, I went here and have been back a few times. It truly is a very unique school. They allow you to go either 2 or 4 years, and get 2 degrees. I went to the business section of the school....

Pros: Student oriented
Cons: Location of classrooms

Johnson and Wales is a great school. The professors really want you to succeed and they do everything in their power to try and help you to get you where you were going. Sometimes it can get a little tough because they work directly with the business...

Pros: Some of the instructors were great
Cons: Students were being pushed through the program

I love to cook, and Johnson & Wales was the closes known school from my home. I took the program offered on the weekends. I was not impressed with the administration at all. I did have some great instructors, but we had a problem student who was...
