Johnson & Wales University Charlotte Campus — Attraction in Charlotte

I am currently attending this school and it's pretty fun. Charlotte is a beautiful area, but the location of campus is placed strangely. There's always a lot of construction around, but I don't blame the school for that. I'm in baking and pastry and the chefs and students are mostly positive while in class though they seem like they expect so much more out of the students who don't know half the stuff we're being taught. Academics is okay, but some teachers treat the students poorly. When it comes to academics, the student DO know stuff and some teachers treat students like they are clueless five year-olds. I'd say the school is too expensive for what it gives us. I'll be spending years in student loan debt after maybe a bachelor's degree. The food in the cafeteria is horrible for a culinary school. They try to make things fancy and just end up making it more gross. The dorm halls always smell like weed. The RAs don't care and are students as well so if you have a problem with someone, they pick sides. CVT isn't too bad, which is where I'm living next year. I love this school and I was excited to come, but it feels like they're making no effort for any of their students that are paying so...

The school is okay as a whole but I'm here to bring everyone's attention to the food. First off they have served raw chicken to us multiple times and then they pick through the meat to choose the ones who arent cooked leaving the rest of the now contaminated meat behind for us to eat. This food has made me and others sick on more than one occasion now. Not to mention the people working down there are rude, wearing earbuds so they cant hear us. How is this acceptable we pay good money to be here but yet they act like the world is crashing down if we ask them to put things out so we can get the food. Honestly do not recommend this school or eating in their cafeteria unless you enjoy raw meat and...

I am currently a student here, and I am NOT coming back after thanksgiving. Everyone that I know who is not in culinary is trying to transfer as quick as possible. If you're not a culinary student, you're treated as second class. The academics aren't challenging. The people here suck. The staff is great though. University is in such a weird location and there is constantly construction which is a nuisance when trying to get to class because they block off the sidewalks frequently. Not to mention, the residence halls always smell like weed. Also, for a culinary school, the food SUCKS! please, save your money and send your kid to a...
