I was an NSO Student (DECA and FBLA) and received a lot of financial support as a result. <br /><br />Due to the trimester schedule, they can offer classes within your major from day one, which is a huge factor in figuring out what you really want to do, or if you want to fine tune your major from something more general into something more specific. <br /><br />The Hospitality College is top-notch, and is truly considered one of the top 5 programs in the country. JWU graduates are generally viewed within industry as being better prepared for the workforce as a result of the career oriented education and sophomore year internship. I never had a lecture hall or a class with more than 35 students, which meant a lot of one-on-one interaction with professors and instructors.<br /><br />Providence is a great college town, with students from JWU, RISD, RIC, RWC, Brown and PC, there's always someone around, someplace to go and something to see.<br /><br />While there is not a centralized campus on the Downtown (Downcity) Campus, it does give you more of a feel like you're living on your own, versus on a sterilized campus. I lived off campus for part of my time and found it to be just as good as on-campus life.<br /><br />The structured 4-day week also allowed me to work without impeding my grades or education. <br /><br />I wouldn't have changed anything about my education there.
