Claude Said:

does johnson and wales university allow students to continue academic classes?

We Answered:

Oh, yes. Absolutely. J&W isn't just a vocational/career school - it's a full university, and as such, it expects you to take things like math, English and etc. as part of your degree. You can see here where they talk a bit about that: http://www.jwu.edu/departments.aspx?id=1…

Violet Said:

Anyone know if there is a student directory for Johnson & Wales University in charlotte?

We Answered:

I got accepted to JW! How cool...

I really think that colleges don't put a directory out for the public though - usually it's only avialable internally.

Try facebook.com or myspace.com

What courses do I need to transfer into Johnson and Wales University accounting program from community college?

We Answered:

The best people to contact are the people at J & W.

Laura Said:

Does Johnson and Wales University charge out of state fees?

We Answered:

J&W is private so the fees do not reflect residency.

You get a fee differential for publicly supported institutions.

J&W is great - however, you will get an equal education at much much lower cost at the local community college.
Either way, after completion you will be lucky to get a $10/hr line cook position. The difference is that with the J&W training you will also have a mountain of debt.

Jorge Said:

Who has a better Pastry program Culinary Institute of America or Johnson and Wales University?

We Answered:

My friend Will is a pastry chef in NYC at an elite level restaurant, and he went to CIA. Don't judge the whole place based on just Duff Goldman's work. Likewise, don't judge JW based on that one instructor.

The other poster suggested you visit both schools. I suggest the same thing. Actually go to both campuses and see which one you think fits you better. Also, speak to people in the industry and see what they think.

CIA does have a better rep than JW. But that doesn't mean that JW isn't good, or that JW wouldn't be a better fit for you, personally, and thus make you more successful once you come out. Visit both.

Not in Newport, no... Newport is very Anglicised..... Aberystwyth and Bangor are much more 'Welsh'.
