Enjoyed touring culinary campus. Cuisinart building and activities interesting and impressive. First week of new term so much youthful excitement and exuberance.Also enjoyed a charming tea restaurant in the city, the "Duck and Bunny". Incredible, unique offerings of small meal choices and beverages.
This is an excellent culinary school. In fact, it is known nationally and churns out a lot of successful chefs. The only drawback is that it is located in a bad (crime-ridden) section of Providence.
I was a student here, just around the time that it went from being a College to a University. During that same time they seemingly bought up half of downtown to expand their campus and it is simply amazing. Proud to be an alum - and to see how Providence looks these days.
A growing university with a beautiful campus and state of the art culinary center. In the few years that we've been visiting the university has added playing fields and a concession building as they grow their university teams and offerings.
GO to the food museum. The only thing that will disappoint you is the lack of actual food. You will leave the place starving!
we had a great time and i believe my daughter is going to love this school. Everyone we encountered is very helpful and the city is amazing.
The culinary museum features a room set up as a diner; another as a country fair; another as a soda shop. One room is an actual stagecoach tavern complete with a pull-down bed with rope mattress. There are exhibits of Howard Johnson's memorabilia and of antique blenders, etc. We also enjoyed exhibits of elaborate cakes, sugar art creations, and Johnson & Wales chef jackets signed by various celebrity chefs. The student guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Our only regret was that the museum has no gift shop!
Its been a good time! Professors usually know what they are talking about and are very educated in whatever field you are studying. I am glad I picked JWU over another school!
I love everything about this place, however, you must see it for yourself, especially if you're a student trying to find a new school.
Wildcat orientation session. Starting off really good so far. Great rates at the hotels if you mention that you are staying for orientation . Great information on what to do while your student is at orientation. I had a good time.
