    The food quality isn't as high as you would expect for a culinary school, but there are definitely a lot more options than you would find at universities of the same size.

    The food is pretty good here, but since we're a culinary school I feel like we should be able to more creative with the food served! This would make it more of an enjoyable experience!

    The food is pretty good here, but also bring your own food because constantly buying food can become very expensive.

    The food is prepared by the students and is usually a hit or miss type of dining. Some things that are served are delicious while others are not.

    JWU could do better with their choice of foods I believe. You are limited to choices if you live on Harborside campus. Yet, Snowden and Harborview have a pretty good selection and are pretty good. I would like to see some healthier choices at all the dining facilities.

    There are 5 different sororities on the providence campus and many different fraternities. One of the sororities just started this past spring trimester and just welcomed their first pledge class to JWU.

    I do not participate in Greek Life on campus, however there are many students on campus who do. Each fraternity and sorority plans different events through out the year which are sometimes held in Gaebe Commons.

    Our Greek Life is fantastic. The school holds them to high standards to set good examples for the student body. Each Greek organization has a completely different feel to it and if there's one you're interest in, it's probably the perfect fit. I personally am a sister in a sorority and the experience is one of the many reasons I will never go to another university.
